The link below contains all the information you need on how to create a floorplan, the required movements per level and the time required. https://www.britishdressage.co.uk/competing/championships-and-qualifiers/dressage-to-music/

Dressage to Music includes individual and pairs competitions. DTM tests will be in a 20x60m arena, indoors.  Competitors do not need to be BD members to compete in BRC DTM.  BRC now hold PLC Music License.  Competitors do not need to request stickers from BD or BRC. You can use any music from the record labels listed on the Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL) repertoire list. Music that is not on the list can still be used but cannot be used alongside PPL listed music.  It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the music they are using is correctly licensed before competing.

All music in CD or USB format (or both) is to be handed in to the secretary at least 1 hour prior to the scheduled time of the test.
