Competitive dance is a sport where dancers will compete by performing in different styles of permitted dances like tap, lyrical, jazz, acrobats, ballet, hip-hop contemporary, modern etc.
The objective of competitive dance is to take everything a dancer has learned in rehearsal and apply that on stage by being able to tell a compelling story through their choreography. The goal is to connect with the audience. The best dancer is judged on their technique, performance, musicality/timing and choreography. To be the best a dancer has to work on making sure they have clean lines in their choreography and costumes. A dancer must make sure they are grounded where they are really connected to the floor to be able to attain high jumps. They must have the right emotion to their performance. Make eye contact with the judges from time to time, make sure to acknowledge they are there.
The roles for competitive dance are solo performers, duos, trios, and groups.
