Song and Dance

Any routine containing any combination of singing and dancing. THE MUSIC CHOSEN CANNOT CONTAIN VOCALS.

Contemporary

A style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements.

Modern

A dancing style that rejects many strict rules used in classical ballet and focuses on the expression of inner feelings.

Acro

A style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context.

Variety

Any dance routine that does not fit in the above categories – i.e: ethnic dances, etc.

Street Jazz/Hip Hop

Stems from modern-day dance styles such as hip hop, breakdancing, funk and electronic dance. Elements of break dancing and the fluid movements of hip hop are found in the street jazz dance.

Dancer’s Own

This is its own category and any form of dance will compete against each other. (e.g.) a tap solo will compete against jazz solo (unless decided otherwise by the Danceworks Committee). There will only be Solo and Duo/Trio Divisions broken down into age categories. THE DANCE MUST BE CHOREOGRAPHED BY THE DANCER.

The following categories may contain acro tricks.
