Understanding the Basics

Each judge awards a score out of 10, meaning the highest possible score for a dance is 30 (or 40, depending on the number of judges). These scores reflect various aspects of the performance, including technique, musicality, and overall presentation.

Key Elements Judges Consider:

  • Technique: Proper footwork, posture, and hold are fundamental.
  • Performance Quality: Judges look for confidence, character embodiment, and connection with the audience.
  • Choreography and Difficulty: The complexity and creativity of the routine play a crucial role.
  • Musicality: How well the dancers interpret and move with the music.

How Scores Affect Elimination

The judges' scores are combined with the audience votes to determine which couple will be eliminated each week. Here’s how it works: — Scarlett Stone: Rising Star In Hollywood
