- Abstract
The current judging system used to evaluate dancers in the official competitions allows subjective interpretations, given that they rely on certain criteria which are only marked, but do not have a numerical correspondent. In this context, we have created and developed a judging system based on the existing one, but with improvements in both the division of criteria and sub-criteria of the elements to be judged and their quantification by awarding points according to their importance in the economy of dance, so as they reflect exactly the best evolutions in competitions. Using the new judging system allows a correct distinction between the couples of dancers, based on the scores achieved for each of the 5 dance styles (Samba, Cha-cha-cha, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive) and each of the 5 evaluation criteria, which actually are the same, but each dance possesses some deeper nuances which should be taken into account by the jury at the judging moment. The judging system created by us was applied during the international dancesport competitions held in 2015, Latin-American dance section, for the age class of 14 to 15 years, the recording sheets providing coaches and athletes with important information on the evolution of dancers in each dance style and especially on the criteria for which the highest and the lowest scores have been obtained, those elements becoming thus the objectives to be reached in their further preparation.
