I don't like the idea of having a beginner's competition - it sort of puts the emphisis on competition dancing rather than social dancing.Originally Posted by Sparkles
How do you get to judge comps if one of the criteria of being a judge is having judged before? And they are "looking for" what they think are the better dancers. You don't need to be qualified world champions with diplomas in dancing to say "oooh, that was nice" {IMHO}....It may be tricky if the judges have no formal dancing qualifications - kinda defeats the object of being judged if the person judging you doesn't really know what they're looking for and has never judged a competition before.~
I think teachers should just be "classed" as people.Originally Posted by Scot
As has been said - very difficuly to judge without being too harsh; I would definetly say no dips, drops, leans, seducers or arials. No multiple (unassisted) spins beyond 2. I think that these rules should pathe the way to dancers having to keep the moves grounded within the basic moves, without totally restricting it.Some competitions have a section where you are just allowed to do beginners moves but you can be at any dance level.
Should a Beginners only restrict people to beginners moves.
I only come up with the ideas: I'm sure someone will blame me if Scot implements some of them - isn't that enough blame?Originally Posted by Piglet
{ for the coercion though}
