Evaluation criteria

 

 

 

These criteria will count in equal shares in the final grade:

Changes in tempo will also be appreciated: dynamic and swift, fast transitions, slower moments… The agility of the figures will be observed in static and spinning mode. The grade will take into account the level of difficulty of the movements, but also the variety between strength and flexibility figures. Originals and new movements will be particularly appreciated.  

 

** Execution ** 

 

A perfect execution will include: a flawless technique and finish of the flow movements, spins, and aerial and delicate climbs as well as clean transitions. 

A good posture on figures, grace, a good general flow, floor work and transitions will be noticed. The overall combination between originality, dance and acrobatics will also be graded.
