Hi Bubbalou,
I was head judge for Ceroc X and have to admit it was one of the hardest categories I've ever had to judge. Not only do you have to make sure you look at every couple, you have to make sure they are only dancing Beginners Moves, that you see no more than 2 spins, if they break or hesitate they still keep the format of the move they started, etc etc (I'm sure you read the rules before entering). Whilst looking for all those things, you are also judging how the couple dance and connect with each other, how much fun is being conveyed, how they are using the music they are dancing to and how they look.
Now, saying all that, my opinion could be totally different to the other 4 judges, judging the same category - one of the judges may also have seen one of the couples performing an illegal move or multiple spins, so that couple would be disqualified, harsh I know, but rules are rules.
We're never going to be able to please everyone unfortunately
and hopefully it hasn't put you off entering again.
Thanks,
Bex
