A. If you look at the original street dance competition in the United States, the birthplace of street dance, there are no rules or standards per se. There are no experts, no veterans, no celebrities, no judges (who are certified by the state). Who decides who loses and who wins? It is the audience on the spot. Which team's applause & praise whistles louder and longer, the winner is that team.
Two, if we are in accordance with our country (imitation of the introduction from the island) many by the business title, television broadcast or not broadcast the size of the regional scope of the street dance competition held on the theory. According to my understanding, there are currently three is the National Sports Commission officially issued a certificate of qualification "national referee". Shanghai's Hu Hongjun, Henan Zhengzhou's Lv Long, Wuhan's Yu Bin.
At present, the basic rules of the official competition in China were planned and organized by me in 2000 when the first China Street Dance Competition was held and have been used until now, which are divided into two major parts, namely, the group dance judging rules and the fighting dance judging rules. The focus of group dance is on the strength of the choreography. The focus of the Battle is on the strengths and weaknesses of the individual skills of each member of the dance team and the overall coordination.
Group dance scoring items are:
1, the overall appearance of the team members (male to female ratio, clothing and props, spirit);
2, dance action (difficult action, new action, action neat & in place);
3, choreography (music understanding and adaptation, music & meaning and dance interpretation of the beat fit, formation level) Changes & reasonable use of stage length and width & improvisation flexibility, innovation.)
The scoring items of the fight dance are:
Each member of the team from the beginning of the action to the individual skills to the end of the action is complete. (Provocation >> Toplock & Uplock >> Footwork >> Powermove >> EndingPose >> Continue Provocation)
Personal skill movement and articulation of the completeness of the degree of & perfection. Dance movements and music fit degree, the fight process of the degree of targeting & the ability to improvise, the cooperation between the players and intermittent choreography of the whole team dance movements, the ability to show the highlights of the whole fight dance competition and control the rhythm. The professionalism of the whole team, personal grooming & politeness. Interaction with the audience & the ability to render the atmosphere.
The number of judges will be odd, and the scoring will be based on each sub-category, with each sub-category weighted differently according to the characteristics of the program. Scores will be shown after each team (for the dances) or after each dance (for the fights). The total time limit for each dance is a maximum of 20 minutes.
A live DJ may play during the dance-offs, but this must be negotiated with the participating teams beforehand, and the DJ is not allowed to play freely. The teams can also provide their own backing music to be played by the live DJ according to the actual situation of the fight.
The dance competition is divided into qualifying rounds (auditions), semi-finals (half a day), and finals (half a day on the second day or every other day for at least four teams) (the team that thinks it has the ability to win the competition needs to prepare three sets of dance programs). Dance battle between two pairs to fight, divided into qualifying (audition day), semi-finals (half a day), the final (at least four teams the next day or every other day half a day)
Performances can also be interspersed between competitions:
1, the DJ's rubbing discs performance. (Not ordinary dance hall DJs, only the rubbing part of the show)
2, graffiti show. (Large KT boards, spray paint cans combined with the theme of the event or sponsor and other elements)
3, B Box performance. (only ordinary microphone)
4, Extreme performance. (Roller skating, skateboarding, BMX with high and low wooden high and low platforms, sloping platforms, U-shaped platforms)
5, street ball show. (regular basketball games do not have the street basketball skills)
