Judging Criteria
How can I put together a show if I don't know what they're looking for? Hopefully, these guidelines will help you focus your creative talents on just what it is you want to do. What is posted here is what the judges will told to judge on.
1. Technique. Yes, of course technique but does it need to be perfect? No. But if the judges can't tell what you're doing then neither can the audience and the impact you were hoping to provide is completely lost.
2. 2. Music. If the music is pointedly intended to be a derogatory and offensive statement at the expense of a specific race, creed, or sexual preference, then it will not be considered for the show. Use common sense, basically. Anything else you can go for... sexual lyrics, angry lyrics, political lyrics, lullabyes, etc.
3. Choreography. This one is completely a personal preference judges. The most we can tell you is anything that is too simple will be boring to the judges, and the audience, and anything that is too complicated could get overlooked.
4. Entertainer. This is your stage presence- do you smile at the right times? Does it look genuine? Do you look sad at the right moment in the music? Is your bearing, the way you project feelings, appropriate to the moment? Make sure it's something the judges will pick up on.
5. Costuming. The judges will be looking to see how the costuming meshes in with your music and choreography. The expectation is your outfit reflects your message in some way rather than having a costume just to be a costume.
6. Execution. The sum of everything. You can take different groups and teach them the same piece at the same time, but each of them will execute differently from the other. Basically, the more you practice the better you execution will be and the more the judges will like it.
Happy Choreographing!
