JUDGING AND SCORING
Judges evaluate each routine using points from 1 – worst to 10 – best in the following parameters:
TECHNIQUE | balance poise smoothness of movement agility body control body stretch body strength and power use of shapes and lines |
MUSIC, RHYTHM | musical timing musical phrasing appropriate music diversity of rhythm |
INTERPRETATION | presentation personality emotional execution energy charisma self-assuredness interaction between dancers |
CHOREOGRAPHY | creativity originality use of space/dimensions/levels theatrical and visual effects, synchronization |
OVERALL IMPRESSION | appropriate costume and make-up grooming ability to capture the audience crowd feedback would you like to see it again |
The final result is the arithmetic mean of the scores assigned by all the judges, where the best and worst scores for each evaluated parameter have been discarded.
The winner in each category is the routine that has been evaluated with the highest number of points. If two or more routines reach the same number of points, the winner is the routine that has the highest number of points in the technique parameter.
If it is not possible to determine the winner even after that, the deciding factor becomes the highest number of points in parameter music, rhythm, interpretation, choreography, and overall impression. If after the mentioned order of parameters, it is still not possible to determine a winner, the best routines share the first place. Judges can also provide comments for each routine. Comments are anonymously presented at the FestIS web application after each festival. Dance club/school can see only comments for their routines.
