Hi Guys,Originally posted by Bill
DWAS is the one comp (like Lucky Dip in London) that I never understand because I saw a few couples dancing really well together who didn't progress and were (IMHO) much better than a few of the couples in the final. I think about 6 couples went through from the round before mine but looked as if only about 2 or 3 went through from my round.
Sorry not been around for a couple of days, so I may have missed a lot.
For me, no matter whose competition it is, the DT TAC DWaS, whatever you want to call it, is the only round where any dancer can get involved no matter how good. This I always take in the spirit it was set up in. The organisers, us included try to fit as many people in as possible, so they can be involved in the day, without having to worry too much about their performances.
Unfortunately this always leaves the judges with an exceptionally difficult task.
We only have a few options;
Add another 1/2 hour to the competition, I think it was long enough anyway.
Get another 5 or 6 judges, not cost effective.
Cut the numbers down, defeats the objective re allowing lots of people to enter the competition & have fun.
The other rounds are there for the serious dancers.
I hope this makes sense.
I should also have finished by tonight the answers to some of your other main points.
Keep on dancing
Keith
