Judging Elements

If a dance, costume, or music is deemed inappropriate for family viewing by the judging panel, it will be scored lower by judges and may not be eligible for overall high score award.

Each performance will be evaluated on the following five judging elements:

• Performance & Appropriate Characterisation – 20 marks
• Artistry & Musicality – 20 marks
• Technical Demonstration – 20 marks
• Technical Understanding – 20 marks
• Choreography – 10 marks
• Trueness to Genre – 10 marks
• Custume/Styling – 10 marks
• Total – 100 marks

Ties will not be broken for the general competition awards, however all exact ties will be broken for overall high point awards by the Judging Panel.
