Scoring

10 points are available in each section, EXCEPT COSTUME & MUSICALITY – 5 POINTS EACH

Flow: How did your routine link together, was it smooth and confidently delivered? Were there any stumbles or tangles. Did you use all of your body – for example, do your body rolls work from head to toe? Does one movement move seamlessly into the next. Try to avoid any pauses before trick elements and avoid waiting for music, try to keep moving. Are your arms and hand positions considered and movements fully finished before moving on to the next? (Fully finished does not mean a locked-out knee or pointed ankle, we are referring to showing us a fully finished shape before moving too quickly onto the next)

Stage Presence: Did you engage with the audience (Camera for videos) Do you show confidence? Did you command attention. Are you projecting up and out, rather than looking down? Using as much of the available space as possible and projecting to as many people as possible will incur high scores. Projecting does not mean eye contact, rather up and out than down and closed. (Consider coming closer to the camera for auditions)

Floor Work: Does your floorwork suit your song, is it fluid, clean, original? Are there interesting transitions with minimal repetition in shapes and transitions. Do you dance through transitions and acro elements, maintaining engagement?

Tricks: Are tricks well-chosen and well executed with clean entry and exit? (No score for difficulty, just execution, but we do need to see a couple of well-chosen tricks to score here) Spins, Sits, layouts and climbs count as tricks. More complex transitions, where both feet are off the floor, such as a lift into a sit, would be counted as a trick. Try to dance through your tricks and maintain engagement for a higher score.

Provocation: Is the routine stripper style, sexy, sensual, dirty, raw, is it full of intention and is the dancer authentic to themselves? Did you use any elements of self-touch, tease, hair flick, costume touch and play to entice? Body traces, lip licks, any kind of self-touch, hip hitches, pole or floor bangs, pole / heel wanks, facial expression & intention will all score well here. Expressive – let yourself really feel the music and dance, will also score well in provocation. Technicality is not scored here, you do not to be a professional to let it go! Strip tease elements if included will be marked here, to score well, take your time with any removal elements, use your clothing as an extension of you and your piece.

Costume: Does your costume match your style and suit your piece, is it well fitted, original, authentic. Does it gape, come off or move about unintentionally? Minimum costume requirements are a G-String. Pasties are not required, and if you progress to the final, you can request no audience photography.

Musicality: Do you use your music well, acknowledging accents, highs, lows, any tempo and energy changes? Are you using the beats of the music to highlight and emphasise your movement? Does your energy and pace match that of the music? No personal taste or preference will be considered by the judges, only how well you use the music.
