Scoring & Placing information
At America On Stage, we believe every
dancer should be rewarded for their hard work.
We have designed our scoring, placing and awards system after this belief.
Dancers in Novice - Advanced/Championship levels
SCORING
Dancers in Novice, Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, Championship levels are
judged against a score. Dancers are scored between 4.5 and 5.0 in two categories
- Technical Merit and Artistic Presentation. Dancers are then awarded a place
based upon their total score from all three judges.
The Highest scoring dancer(s) in each category are scored 1st automatically,
regardless of score.
PLACING
Dancers who score above 29.1 are awarded 1st place.
Dancers who score between 28.7 and 29.09 are awarded 2nd place.
Dancers who score between 27.0 and 28.69 are awarded 3rd place.
In this way, dancers earn the place they score.
Dancers in Dance Advanced & Clog Professional (Pro)
levels
SCORING & PLACING
Dancers who compete in Dance Advanced and Clog Professional (Pro) levels, are scored in the same manner,
but are placed one 1st, one 2nd, one 3rd, one 4th and one 5th. Scores matter
only when compared against those in their age divisions. In Pro Dance solos,
places after 5th place are awarded as "Attendants".
New Awards System in America
On Stage
At America on Stage, we believe every dancer, team, and director should be
highly recognized for their excellent achievement. Accordingly, we offer the
best awards program anywhere! Every dancer receives an individual award for
every event competed (including team). Every team receives a team award for
every event competed. Every studio receives at least one large trophy. And then
at a special Awards Extravaganza at the end of every level (immediately after
all scores have been tallied) we present overall awards and a fun sportsmanship
and spirit aw
We offer three kinds of awards in our levels:
MULTIPLE AWARDS - All Dancers receive either a 1st, 2nd or 3rd based on score. The highest score in every division awarded 1st automatically. 29.2 and greater = 1st, Between 28.7 and 29.2 = 2nd, Between 27.0 and 28.7 = 3rd.
DOUBLE AWARDS - All Dancers receive either a 1st, 2nd or 3rd based on score (Multiple Awards), AND Receive a Rating of High Gold, Gold, Silver, Bronze. 29.5 and greater = High Gold, Between 29.1 and 29.5 = Gold, Between 28.6 and 29.1 = Silver, Between 27.0 and 28.6 = Bronze.
SINGLE AWARDS - One 1st, one 2nd one 3rd. All Dancers scored and compared against each other. Highest score = 1st, etc. AND Receive a Rating like Double Awards
DANCE - Novice, Beginning - MULTIPLE AWARDS, Intermediate - DOUBLE AWARDS, Advanced - SINGLE AWARDS
CLOG - Nov, Beg, Int, Adv - MUTLIPLE AWARDS, Championship - DOUBLE AWARDS, Pro - SINGLE AWARDS
Clogging All-Around Solos
All-Around Solos are compulsory solos that showcase dancers memory, technique,
presentation, and abilities. Dancers are scored solely on how well they complete
the solos. As many who score high enough in the above mentioned categories with
high dance ability are awarded 1st, those with minor mistakes and/or medium
dance ability are awarded 2nd and those with major mistakes or low dance ability
are awarded 3rd. All dancers are placed.
