Dancers switch partners throughout the competition. Individuals are judged in the preliminary rounds and then as couples in later elimination rounds. Dancers are judged INDIVIDUALLY based on their ability to improvise a dance with different partners. A leader and follower in each division will be chosen by the judges to win. There is a limited participation. Individuals interested must sign up in advance. See below for information about rules, judging criteria, eligibility, registration, and prizes! |

The judges’ decision is final. |

Judging Criteria 1. Fun factor: Do the dancers look like they are enjoying themselves throughout the dance? 2. Timing: Do the dancers stay on a consistent on beat for the duration of the dance (whether on1, on2, or other style) 3. Musicality: Do the dancers show a connection to the music? Or does it look like the quality, style and mood of song isn't a factor in how they "feel" like dancing? 4. Partner Connection: Does the couple show connection in their partner work? 5. Attire will not be judged, but if you look good, you'll probably work it better :) |

About iFreeStyle's 1st Annual Latin Dance Freestyle Competition Saturday June 16, 2012 Lithuanian House, 1573 Bloor Street West, Toronto iFreeStyle.ca is a Latin dance company known not only for our love for performing and sharing our experience with students, but also in our love for social dancing. We believe that there is no freedom like really freestyling; connecting with you partner, the music and letting loose on the dance floor. We've been lucky enough to share amazing dances over the years. Great social dancing requires a love for the music, the dance, a respect for one's partner, the desire to really connect, and the technique to make it flow. Latin street dances like Salsa, Cha Cha, and Bachata each offer a unique platform for dancers to express themselves. While each has it's own flavour, what's common is that they are partner dances that allow for freedom of expression. We're excited to host the 1st Annual Latin Dance Freestyle competition - a purely freestyled dance contest where couples use improvise their dance to randomly selected songs. Unlike our Jack & Jill Competition, partners do not change. Couples compete together in all dances (see dances for each division below). |
