Judging Criteria (Showcase Category)
In the Showcase Category, participants will perform a choreographed routine lasting from 1:30 minutes to 3:00 minutes (depending on the division), set to their chosen music. The judges will evaluate the performances, and the top 3 couples in each division will be awarded trophies or medals.
20% TIMING
Most of the routine should showcase precise and recognizable timing specific to the chosen dance genre (e.g., Salsa, Bachata, Hustle*). Competitors must maintain consistent timing throughout their routine, reflecting a strong understanding of the dance’s rhythm and tempo.
15% MUSICALITY
Couples will be assessed based on their ability to creatively interpret and adapt to the timing of their individual music. This creativity can manifest through various means, such as patterns, footwork, “hits,” tricks, and other choreographic elements. The choreography should harmoniously align with the music’s nuances.
15% GENERAL DANCE TECHNIQUE & DANCE SPECIFIC TECHNIQUE
Competitors’ dance technique will be evaluated based on elements like balance, alignment, and creating aesthetically pleasing lines. For partner dance, proper weight changes and grounded movement are essential. The execution should appear effortless and well-grounded. Dance-specific techniques, often referred to as “latin motion” or “sabor,” should be evident in the performance.
15% DIFFICULTY
The level of difficulty in the routine will be gauged by intricate patterns, challenging turns, complex shine movements, and the inclusion of advanced tricks, dips, drops, and flares. The evaluation will consider the execution of moves like turns on both double and single feet, intricate shines, jumps, kicks, extensions, and movements requiring exceptional balance, flexibility, or strength.
15% PARTNERING/CONNECTION
This criterion assesses the lead/follow dynamic in partner dance. Partners should exhibit a true connection, with seamless communication between lead and follow. The evaluation also considers synchronicity during side-by-side sequences or shines, indicating a strong partnership and synergy.
10% CHOREOGRAPHY
Couples’ interpretation of the music through choreography will be evaluated. Effective choreography should incorporate creative turn patterns and shines that align with the music’s phrasing. Spatial awareness and utilization of the dance floor are important. Originality in choreographic choices is a significant factor in this category.
10% OVERALL PRESENTATION/SHOWMANSHIP
This category encompasses several aspects, including costuming, showmanship, and sportsmanship. Competitors’ overall presentation on stage, including their stage presence, charisma, and audience engagement, contributes to their showmanship score. Additionally, adherence to good sportsmanship practices during the competition is vital.
*Recognized Salsa Timing is designated as 1-2-3, 5-6-7. Competitors can choose to break ON 1 or ON 2 but must maintain consistency throughout the routine. The direction of the break step can be either to the front or the back, as long as the timing of the break is consistently maintained (either 1 and 5, or 2 and 6). Most of the routine should demonstrate recognizable Salsa Timing.
Judging Criteria (Heats Category):
In a heated division, where lead and follow take center stage instead of choreography, multiple couples share the floor simultaneously. Participants can compete in their own level and one level higher. The performances, without entrances or exits, lifts, or tricks, will be evaluated by a panel of judges who will assign scores to each couple. Additionally, competitors will dance to DJ-selected music, with one song per heat lasting 1 to 1.5 minutes. The music’s tempo will be tailored to each division’s level, maintaining a slower pace for beginners, a mid-tempo for Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate levels, and a faster rhythm for Pre-Advanced and Advanced divisions.
- Consistent Rhythm: Maintain the dance’s rhythm consistently throughout the performance.
- Recognizable Dance Styles: The performance must be recognizable as Salsa, Bachata, Cha-Cha, Merengue, Hustle, or West Coast Swing according to the division.
- Lead and Follow: Dynamic partnership between the leader and follower, where the leader maintains rhythm, directs figures, and guides movement, while the follower interprets signals and executes steps. In adhering to this rule, dancers ensure a synchronized and harmonious presentation, embodying the essence of partner dance.
- Shines Limit: Shines or side-by-side movements should not exceed 20% of the performance.
- No Dips, Lifts, or Tricks: Dips, lifts, and tricks are prohibited in the routine.
- Lifts Definition: A lift involves both dancers having both feet off the floor simultaneously, assisted or supported by their partner.
