2.4 Music Selection

The music is exclusively provided by WRRC, whereby only the titles approved by the WRRC Executive Board must be used.

The tempo should not deviate for more than +-1 bar. This mean that in each round the tempo allowed must be for fast round 48-49, 49-50, 50-51, 51-52 bpm and for slow round 27-28, 28-29, 29-30 bars per minutes.

It is mandatory that the DJ uses homogeneous songs in each round, with same speed and energy. A piano boogie is very different from a 50’s with a lot of breaks. So is the swing song is very different from a piano or a 50’s song which provides different conditions for each couple.

Please note that within the same round piano boogie cannot mix with other music style.

To make these rules effective for each competition WRRC will prepare music selection lists that the DJ has to use randomly.

In European and World championships no live music is allowed.

Live Music can only be used in World Master and World Cups in accordance with the WRRC Presidium approved list of songs and by using a rhythm box.

Before the competition the supervisor should interact with the DJ in order to secure that above rules will be followed.

2.6 Observer and Judges

The selection of WRRC-Judges for Boogie Dancing World Cups and Masters is implemented by the

Sport Director by his specifying the membership associations which are entitled to send a WRRC-Judge to the tournament. If the request to nominate a WRRC-Judge is not complied with by the

national association within 6 weeks, the Boogie Commissioner shall be entitled to select a suitable WRRC-Judge himself.

5 Judges will be appointed for Master/World Cup and 7 for World and Continental championships.

Dance Technique Dance Figures Music Interpretation Dance Performance

In case of essential mistakes like: Fall down, stop during the dance, stop before the end of the

music, out of beat (more than 1 basic step) the judge will reduce values in the appropriate criteria.

2.7 Boogie Woogie Formations

To be added.


3 Judgment Criteria

The judgment criteria support the judges to do an efficient, fair and correct judgment. Furthermore it also gives full transparency.

To make this effective the judgment criteria are divided in:

Dance technique

Dance figures Music Interpretation Dance Performance

The maximum number of points will be 100.

To emphasize the complexity of dancing boogie Woogie, dance technique, dance figures and music interpretation are weighted similar (30 points each). Dance performance is weighted with 10 points.

These 4 main criteria have been breakdown into 6 sub-criteria that will be judged and each of it has been weighted as described in the following table.

We would like to emphasize that Dance Technique has a strong influence in the other 3 main criteria (Please refer to the keyword column and on the following sections).

Note: The dancers have to be evaluated individually and as a couple

3.1 Dance technique

Dance technique is the most important element and the way to achieve dance excellence. It’s the underlying basic factor.

It’s about making it easy to execute the:

Basic step Basic Dancing Lead & Follow Harmony

Dance Technique has been divided in 2 sub-criteria each of it rewarded as follow:

Basic step – 15 points Basic Dancing, Lead and Follow and Harmony – 15 points

Basic step

The basic step of Boogie Woogie dance should represent the rhythm of the original music.

Basic Steps (Rhythm and Foot Technique) sub-criteria will be judged all together and rewarded by a maximum of 15 points.

3.1.1.1 Rhythm Fast

6 count steps: “a – 1 - a – 2 – a – 3 – a – 4 – a – 5 – a – 6” Bounce only on every “a”

Dancing within the rhythm with every step (syncopated triple steps) The time the foot hits the floor and remains on should represent the beat in the music The basic steps must be performed on the beat Accentuation on the “2, 4 and 6” Variation of steps are possible if they are within the rhythm

Note:

The term syncopated triple steps is often used by dancers, trainers and judges, but from a

musician’s view it is not correct. The real meaning is to emphasize the beat on two and to dance in a shuffle rhythm. Please refer to the appendix.

3.1.1.2 Rhythm Slow

6 count steps: “a – 1 - a – 2 – a – 3 – a – 4 – a – 5 – a – 6” Delay before the “2” “4” and “6” on the “a” The time the foot hits the floor and remains on should represent the beat in the music

The basic steps must be performed on the beat Smooth bounce which fits the music by rolling the foot Dancing within the rhythm with every steps (syncopated triple steps) Variation of steps are possible if they are within the rhythm

3.1.1.3 Foot technique

Basic footwork must be performed in a dynamic way Bending the knees is necessary for obtaining a good bouncing

Harmony with the partner on the basic steps (rhythm, touching the floor at the same time, rolling and kicking the same way, lifting the knees equally)

Keeping dynamic of the basic footwork through the whole round with the same energy “Traveling” on the floor is essential and should be executed by following the lines and

adapted to the natural basic variations The footwork should be adapted to the style of the music


Basic Dancing, Lead & Follow and Harmony

Basic dancing, Lead & Follow and Harmony sub-criteria will be judged altogether and rewarded with a maximum of 15 points.

3.1.2.1 Basic Dancing

Basic dancing happens when dancers are calibrating their own body movements in balance.

Center

All movements have to start from the center

Body

The upper part of the body has to remain steady and isolated by the natural movement of the hips.

Arm

Arm movement should support and be seen as an extension of the body movement and must always be controlled

Head

The head has to follow the natural direction of the shoulders, must be kept up and most of the time only in two directions (eye contact with the partner or the audience)

Weight transfer

Shifting of a dancer’s weight from one foot to another

Lines

The basic dancing has to be on the line also when the travelling technique is used

3.1.2.2 Lead & Follow

Lead and follow are designations for dancers performing a couple dance. The male is

traditionally the leader and the female is the follower. The leader is responsible for guiding the couple and initiating transitions to different dance steps and for choosing appropriate dance steps to suit the music. The leader communicates his choices and direction to the follower through clear physical and visual signals, thereby allowing the couple to be smoothly coordinated. The position of the leader is essential to maintain the right distance and to be able to give a clear direction to the follower.

The leader and the follower have to be visible as one unity without losing their individuality.

The leader has to communicate the direction of the way the follower moves.

3.1.2.3 Ways of leading

Body Lead

A body lead means when the leader initiates a lead by moving his body, which moves his arm(s), and thus transmits a lead to the follower. 'Body lead' means much the same as


'weight transfer' from the leader. It is important that the leader is positioning correctly towards the follower.

Arm Lead

An arm lead means when the leader moves his arm(s) without moving his body, or moves his body in a different direction to his arm. It is important that the leader is positioning correctly towards the follower.

Visual Lead

Visual lead means when the leader uses eye contact or body position which the follower can only see, but not feel.

3.1.2.4 Methods for lead and follow

Basic connection

Way for the dancer to communicate and to be synchronized.

Furthermore to be continuously connected and keep the basic contact point all the time without shaking arms.

The shoulder of the leader and the follower must be aligned within the giving frame by the using the right muscles. Please refer to the document Boogie Woogie NJS – Anatomy.

The shoulder from the leader and the follower should maintain the natural position all the time

Tension

A type of connection which uses force in a direction away from and in direction to the partner

securing a good tension in the arms with no additional muscle work

Counterbalance

Both partners putting an equal amount of bodyweight (giving more weight to the partner than you actually could hold yourself)

Frame

The frame provides connection between the dance partners, making leading and following possible.

A frame is a stable structural combination of both bodies maintained through the dancers' arms and/or legs, and allows the leader to transmit body movement to the follower, and for the follower to suggest ideas to the leader.

Connection occurs in both open and closed dance positions

3.1.2.5 Follower

The follower has to pay attention with all of the senses and needs to follow all the signals from

the leader. The follower shall be recognized by an initiated start and stop. The follower is expected to not initiate any move until the leader gives an indication.


3.1.2.6 Hijacking

Is when the follower steals the lead and the roles will be reversed for some time. It’s an exception and can only be used as a variation in Lead & Follow

Harmony

Completeness if the couple is in harmony with each other

The ability of the couple to work as a team: one person should not be “out dancing” the other obviously

Harmony in body positions, arms, heads, same movement, “Nice picture”, etc…

3.2 Dance figure

Dance figures should contain basic, advanced and highlight figures with a minimum of 4 different highlight figures and at least 2 advanced dance figures.

Dance Figures criteria will be judged and rewarded as follow:

Basic figures will be judged as part of lead and follow (Dance Technique) Advanced Dance Figures and highlight dance figures will be judged together as one

criteria and rewarded with a maximum of 20 points.

A balanced repertoire of figures is mandatory.

For a high score of the dance figures all the following must be considered:

Execution of the figures Balance Accuracy

Synchronicity during a figure between the couple and the movement can be clearly recognized when a dance figure starts, and when it finishes

Harmony

Level of complexity in the figure (Difficulty) Different rotations with multiple simultaneous exchange of the dance

pose

Movements based on flexibility Movements demanding high level of coordination and isolation

Variety in term of different styles (advanced basic figures and highlights figures) as

well as within each category

Originality and esthetic in the figures


Basic figures

All figures done with basic triple steps (6 count steps) with clear lead and follow.

Figures which do represent only one element and do not exceed the length of six beats.

Basic figures will be judged in Lead and Follow, Basic Dancing and Harmony (Dance Technique).

A variation of different basic figures is recommended.

Some examples of basic figures:

Change place (six count pass?) In and out of arms (sending in and out?) Basic spin Sugar push Etc…

Exceptions: Swing out is considered as a basic step however it is preferable not to be used too often in order to maintain the characteristics of the Boogie Woogie dance

Advanced Basic and Highlight Dance Figures

3.2.2.1 Advanced Basic Figures

Figures that contains a combination of some of the following elements:

Movements Syncopations Basic figures

and executed with advanced lead and follow.

These figures can be executed with different steps.

3.2.2.2 Highlight Dance figures

An especially significant or interesting figure with a specific originality that keeps the attention to the dance.

It is not just a combination or variation of basic figures. It is developed over one, two, three or four eights, it is characterized by its creativity and appears as a surprise.

Some examples:

Lift

Dip Circle variation Side by side (open figures with or without contact)

Slow: maximum 1 side by side 4X8 Fast: Maximum of 2 side by side, one 4X8 and one 2X8

Acrobatic will be judged as a dance figure, maximum 2

Others, from other dances that influence swing dance e.g. Tango Argentin, ballroom,

salsa, break dance, Hip-Hop, Jazz Etc.… Humour Extreme physic (split) Figures with different speed and power (e.g. slow motion, time lapse)


Side by Side

A side by side figure is considered as a highlight when the following criteria is met:

Dancing a pre choreographed part Dancing mainly shoulder to shoulder with or without contact For at least more than one 8.

Note: If an acrobatic figure is performed during the side by side then a side by side and an

acrobatic will be counted by the observer

Acrobatic

A figure is considered as an acrobatic figure when one of the following criteria is met:

Rotations of more than 180° around the body’s width or depth axis in the air.

The follower has her/his hips above the leader shoulders during the execution of the acrobatic figure.

Note: It is important that an acrobatic figure must be harmonized with music.

3.3 Music Interpretation

Interpretation of the music is fundamental for Boogie Woogie and it should be perceived as spontaneous and ends with the music.

Music Interpretation has been divided in 2 sub-criteria each one judged as follows:

Spontaneous Interpretation – 10 points Interpretation with highlights and advanced dance figures – 30 points

Interpretation of music means fitting the dance with all its complexity to the music being played.

It’s about the dancer’s ability to receive, comprehend, be sensitive to, and have a working knowledge of musical concepts. Dancers have to actively anticipate the music (rhythms, phrases, breaks, bridges, etc.…) while executing the dance. Interpretation of music can be shown with

steps, body moves and figures.

4 Scoring the Dance

4.1 Calculation system

The maximum numbers of points will be 100 (for slow and for fast).

The judge will provide values on a scale from 0 to 10 (judging sheet) for the 6 judged criteria’s.

These values will be converted into points in accordance with the percentage associated to each criteria.

Please refer to the judgment criteria section.

Simplified judgement with only the 4 main criteria’s will be used when the number of couples on

the floor is more than 2.

In all rounds points accounted from all judges will follow the same algorithm as Rock’n Roll (average with standard deviation).

For the end result results Boogie Woogie will implement the

If a round contains both slow and fast, then results from both divisions will be added.

The total number of points will determined the place of the couple.

The total number of points of the fast round will be awarded by 10 %.

The following formula will apply to all sub-criteria

(Marks/10) * % of Sub-criteria * Max number of point for the main criteria Example for Basic Steps – Marks provided by the judge = 3

Basic Steps = (3/10) * 50% * 30 = 4.5 points

For more information you can also refer to the Boogie Woogie NJS electronic System document.

4.2 Cards

The following deduction will be done

Yellow card: 3 points Red card: 30 Points

Mostly for the first violation a yellow card is shown.

A further yellow card during the same competition means deduction of points for the round in

which the yellow card was shown, even if the reason for the second yellow card is a different one.

For some 2nd violations of the rules and for the finals sometimes also a first violation can mean a red card. If a competitor already has one active yellow card, it is not deleted when the second card is red
