Scoring Criteria

• Choreographic Concept & Musical Structure: Ensure a rational overall structure, balanced movement layers, and clear thematic focus. Main dance phrases, rhythmic patterns, and transitional passages should be well-proportioned. Section and movement transitions must be natural, following core musical and choreographic principles (rhythm, tempo, musicality, spatial composition), while allowing flexible creative interpretation for young contestants. All dance elements should logically serve the core theme, ensuring complete structural integrity and distinct thematic expression.

​​​

• Movement Language & Style Expression: Match body control, dynamics, rhythm, and performance style to the dance genre (classical, folk, modern, contemporary, street, youth-themed) and formation (solo, duet, trio, group). Convey the work’s emotional tone and core meaning through delicate changes in dynamics, rhythm, and spatial phrasing. Maintain a consistent stylistic identity throughout, with smooth transitions in multi-part or group performances.

​​

• Dance Technique Mastery: Demonstrate solid dance techniques, including flexibility, coordination, balance, precision, turns, leaps, and expressive body control. Ensure stable execution, clear rhythm, and full command of stage space. For group or partner works, maintain tight synchronization and balanced formation coordination. Combine standard technical execution with personal artistic expression to enhance performance quality.

​​

• Stage Appeal & Emotional Resonance: Integrate personal artistic perception, emotional understanding, and basic cultural awareness into the performance. Evoke audience resonance through delicate movement control, sincere emotional expression, or youthful creative interpretation. Show unique artistic insight, leave a memorable impression on judges and viewers, and convey positive artistic values and the work’s core emotional message.
