disciplines and cultural interpretations from around the world. A hip-hop dance routine
incorporates the look, music, attitude, posture and street dance style to make it uniquely hip-
hop. The most real routines showcase a variety of hip-hop dance styles, signature moves and
choreography conveying the character and energy of the street.

CRITERIA FOR JUDGING
35% CREATIVITY AND CHOREOGRAPHY
Choreographing and presenting your routine in a unique and one of a kind way with signature
moves and combinations of moves that are yours alone. Original ways to go to the floor, getting
up from the floor, transitions, music editing, clothing and a unique look and style that sets you
apart from the other routines. Be special, different and fresh with all aspects of your routine.
20% SHOWMANSHIP, INTENSITY, CONFIDENCE, PROJECTION & PRESENCE
The routine contains dynamic movements from beginning to end by the crew as a whole and as
individuals containing minimal pauses and poses. During featured performances by one or more
members of the crew, the remaining members must continue performing movements that add to
the overall intensity of the routine. Projection of the crewmembers is consistently strong
throughout the entire routine with an uninterrupted display of confidence measured by facial
expression, eye contact and body movement. The crewmembers should perform with enthusiasm,
passion and a “natural” ability to “sell it” on stage.
20% STAGING, SPACING, FORMATIONS AND LEVEL CHANGES
The crew must demonstrate awareness of spacing between the members through a full range of
unique, complicated and challenging formations, interactive partner moves and patterns. The full
use of stage will also be considered. The routine should include three (3) levels of movement
(low/mid/high) utilizing arm, hand, leg, foot, torso, and head movements with transitions that are
creative and unpredictable.
15% STREET PRESENCE/ATTIRE
Street presence is the capability of the crewmembers to demonstrate an authentic and uninhibited
representation of hip- hop dance. Street presence includes attitude, energy, posture and street
style. Clothing and accessories worn should represent and reflect the real character and natural
style of the urban street environment with a unique look that sets the crew apart. Crewmembers
do not have to be dressed identical or similar. Individuality of dress is encouraged. Theatrical
costumes are not typical of the street and are not recommended. Crews may wear stylized clothing
representing their routine’s theme.
10% Entertainment Value/Crowd Appeal
Crewmembers and their routine should connect with the audience and evoke emotional
responses, i.e., excitement, joy, laughter, involvement and /or sense of drama relative to the
style presented. The routine should leave a memorable and lasting impression.
