That's awesome, ive always wondered what the judges are writing. It looks like a different language lol I love learning about scoring so that we as parents have a better understanding. Thank you!
That is such helpful advice, I really appreciate it! My daughter is a dancer and has been since she was a toddler so she seems to look more dance like than robotic. She usually scores high but occasionally a judge seems to go for the sharp robotic look. You never know what to do.
Is confidence on the beam and floor good or bad? I wonder because some seem to score higher when there is more flare or personality showing on floor. On beam I can't tell if it's supposed to be crazy sharp or graceful. Its so confusing and seems to vary score wise depending on who judges.
I feel the same way and my research doesn't give me a clear answer. Sometimes she scores well, then next meet the routine looks better but the score is lower. I can't figure it out.
Does anyone know what judges look for in lower level floor and beam routines? Do they want sharpness, do they want more grace? Expression? I know the skill requirements have to be met but what else?
