– MUSIC, RHYTHM (musical timing, musical phrasing, appropriate music, diversity of rhythm)

– CHOREOGRAPHY (creativity, originality, use of space/dimensions/levels, theatrical and visual effects, synchronization)

The winner in each category is the routine that has been evaluated with the highest number of points. If two or more routines reach the same number of points, the winner is the routine that has the highest number of points in the technique parameter. If it is not possible to determine the winner even after that, the deciding factor become the highest number of points in parameter music, rhythm, then interpretation, choreography and lastly also overall impresion. If after the mentioned order of parameters it is still not possible to determine a winner, best routines share the first place.
