Ceroc Champs Double Trouble Named Track

[Spiky Steve]

For double trouble only Ceroc have announced that the track has been decided in advance. This gives the opportunity to make the category a showcase allowing for choreography.

From Cerocchamps website
The track that will be used for all the Heats and the Final is ‘Boys & Girls’ by Pixie Lott… have fun with it!

This does not affect me as we have retired from double trouble competition this year. If anyone is unprepared then they would be at a major disadvantage.

I am against the idea having worked for three years to develop a style that is 100% leadable and with some big moves.

I would prefer to see the idea scrapped and a track chosen with breaks and encouraging marks for interpretation and musicality.

Are you saying that you don't think that track has breaks? I'd argue that there is definitely some scope for interpretation and musicality in that particular track, and there is at least one break in there too.

(Which isn't to say I necessarily agree with the idea of a choreographed round compared to having an unknown track and leading and interpreting it as you go along.)

I mean the kind of track with enough breaks etc to highlight routines and choreography and discouraging choreography and big moves for the sake of big moves. In fact, the opposite of the choice made.

I think the better choice for a named track would be the aerial category.

I can see why they have done it but I agree that it would put peole at a disadvantage and also it would better suit aerials.

What would also happen if there was enough entries to do more than 1 round?

The addition of the heats last year was an improvement. This gave an opportunity to practice, highlight routines and filter to three triples making it easier to judge the final.

From what I understand it is the same track for the heats and the final.

Interesting, I have done both, freestyled triples and done triples to a set piece of music as part of a team routine.

Both are fun in their own way.

I guess the answer is to go with it and see what comes out.

They have done heats in the past. From an organisation point of view, having a heat, filters out the top 3 for the "evening show".

There are only 5 "triples" so only one heat, but it does give one a chance to practice as you say, but going through ones head is, do enough, but not too much, save something for the final.

Of course, with a set piece of music, you simply repeat your corrie.

I retired some time back, undefeated in the Ceroc Champs Double Trouble Cat

Wouldn't you have had to defend your title in order to merit the use of the word 'undefeated'?
