How it works

Floor Dimensions

The dance floor will be at least 18m wide x 12m deep.

📋 Judging Criteria

Given that couples will have two weeks to prepare their freestyle, judges will be looking at how each couple reflect their song in their dancing through musicality and / or choreography.

🎵 Music

Each couple will choose a piece of music from a list of songs which will be released at least two weeks before the competition. Each couple must use a different song. First in, first served.

Couples can choose a section of the song approximately 2 minutes in length which will be edited by the organiser for the performance. The section can start at any point in the song.
