Proud Parent
I don’t have any type of dance background, but going by some comments that I’ve heard, our team has bad choreography. I looked it up, and it does seem like bad choreography deductions can add up. What’s the maximum deduction that a judge would take for choreography? Would it be 0.2 for poor relationship + 0.3 for synchronization + 0.1 for originality + 0.1 for expression + 0.1 for movement?! That’s 0.8 — huge! We saw a drop in our DD’s floor scores after switching to this gym. What would you do if this was your gym and your team? Would you suggest they hire an outside choreographer? So far, I’ve been telling my DD that everything about her routine and her floor is fantastic, but she sees the scores. She’s so disappointed. I don’t want for her to feel like she’s bad at floor when the reality may be that she’s stuck with bad choreography and it’s beyond her control. Some parents have even discussed getting dance private lessons on the side to at least modify the routines they have and make them on beat with the music.
