Sheldwich Virtual Dance Competition
As you may know, we are a part of the Canterbury Sports Partnership and would usually be going to competitions held at the Canterbury Academy. These would see us compete against other local schools in a variety of sports. Obviously, this is currently not possible. However, they have launched an inaugural virtual dance competition, which I would like Sheldwich to be a part of.
THEREFORE, I AM LAUNCHING OUR VERY OWN SHELDWICH DANCE COMPETITION TO FIND OUR WINNING ENTRIES. CLOSING DATE MONDAY 30TH NOVEMBER 2020.
It is a solo dance competition but is open to any male or female student in our school. There are some event requirements. As a school, we can only enter one entry in each of the following categories.
|
|
Novice: for beginner dancers only who have little or no experience competing.
Competitive: for experienced dancers or those who do not wish to enter into the novice level.
KS1 = a child in Year R, 1 or 2
KS2 = a child in Year 3, 4, 5, 6
Here are the requirements for the dance routine.
Movement The movement can be any style or genre but must be original in concept.
Time Students should choreograph and perform between 30 and 60 seconds of movement.
Music The music must be commercially available with no explicit content.
Costume Any appropriate costume may be worn with appropriate footwear. No props are to be used.
Filming The dance must be filmed in landscape mode
Once you have sent in your video, I will be looking at them all and will be judging them alongside Mrs Garrett, using the guidance below. Certificates will be awarded to the 3rd, 2nd and 1st place entries with the winner in each of the categories going forward as the Sheldwich entry to the Canterbury Academy competition.
If you do not want your child’s video entered into the Canterbury Academy competition, please let me know when you send it in. I will then just enter it to the Sheldwich judging.
All entries need to be emailed to sport@sheldwich.kent.sch.uk for me to look at by Monday 30th November so that we have time to judge them and send our winning entries to the Canterbury Academy on time. Please state your name, class and whether you are entering the novice or competitive competition.
JUDGING
Movement pieces will be scored by the judges on the following:
|
Performance |
