I have danced in roughly nine comps and Ive had lots of discussions about them. Every entry form I have completed stresses that judging is done according to the interpretation of the music or musicality rather than the degree of difficulty or number of moves. Howver all of the judges have their own "bugbear": here are some I know of and I will attribute them in private if you wish: 1. Dancing in time;Originally Posted by animaltalk
2. Move suits music (why did they do that move then?)
3. Choreography (I dont mind a few mistakes as this shows it is not choregraphed)
4 Costume (gotta show you made an effort)
5 Referring to the judges in your dancing (e.g., looking at them)
Personally I believe that the judges should dance with the finalists: that would scare a few (see 3 above) and give them an ideas of their lead/follow skills "at first hand".
