Criteria for Judging: Although dance experience is preferred and recommended, it is not necessary. Judges will look for your ability to perform specific technique requirements and perform a choreographed routine showing off your unique talents and what you can bring to the BWHS Dance Team. You will be judged on your overall performance, poise, and rhythm. The judges will be using the scoring rubric to score your individual performance. No spots are ever guaranteed, and the decision of the judges is final.
