Description:
Dance Show reflects in its name, this should be mainly a show dance. The choreography may present a story, a character, a feeling or an ambiance. You can use the following dance techniques: jazz, classical, modern or contemporary ballet, jazz styles including afro, American, wild and street versions (not art jazz), revue, character or folk dance from any age and from any culture. The dance styles and techniques may be mixed. If the choreography is of only one certain dance style which has its own disciplines in this regulation, then the performance should be nominated in the discipline dedicated for that type of dance. For example: a pure contemporary choreography with stage decoration is not Dance Show.
Jazz and Fantasy choreography goes to category Dance Show.
The harmonic presentation of a situation, feeling, story, role or known personality with fitting steps, dance technique, music, costume, stage props, tools and presentation will be highly evaluated.
The choreography always must present some kind of feeling/emotion or a story to the audience. The used dance techniques must be clearly seen and performed.
Solos in the formation/ group choreographies and standing parts in the dance are allowed but must not dominate.
