Lockdown Choreography Competition

Sunday 29th of November by Charlotte Pilkington
Keywords: COVID-19, Choreography, Competition

Compete in our free competition to round off our current lockdown! This is an opportunity for all SAA dancers aged 4+ to have fun and shake off that Zoom Doom feeling!

To enter you will need to choreograph a dance to one of our chosen pieces of music. We have two styles of music to chose from. There is a jazzy upbeat piece called ‘Just Dance’ and more lyrical and graceful style song called ‘I Hope You Dance’. Your dance must last for the whole piece of music which is 1m15s long. You are welcome to enter in any dance genre you like!

The competition will be judged in three age groups and trophies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd & 3rd place:

  • Mini - Age 4 to 7 years (Yr R to 2’s)
  • Junior - Age 7 to 11 years (Yr 3 to 6’s)
  • Senior - Age 11 to 21 years (Yr 7+)

There will be an opportunity to get free constructive feedback from one of our teachers on Sunday 29/11. You must pre-book a 10 minute slot between 9.30am to 12pm. Your video entries must be sent by Wednesday 02/12. The winners will be announced on Sunday 06/12.

Dances will be judged in the following five categories, each worth a score out of 10, with a final total of 50. Each entry will also receive feedback of how well they did:

  • Musicality & Timing
  • Choreography Content
  • Performance & Style
  • Technique
  • Hair & Costume

For avoidance of doubt, we only expect you to do the best you can in the space you have. Marks will be given for adapting to the space you have available, you do not need to recreate a dance studio in your house!
