BACKGROUND/
HISTORY OF THE
DANCE
DANCE SPORT
• Dance Sport is the activity that combines sport and
dance, and that allows the participants to improve
physical fitness and mental well-being, to form
social relationships and to obtain results in
competition at all levels. Competitive Dance Sport in
a wide variety of dance styles and forms is
practiced within the internationally recognized and
organized competition structure of IDSF.
• Dance Sport events are sanctioned and regulated by dance sport
organizations at the national and international level, such as the World Dance
Sport Federation. The name was invented to help competitive ballroom
dancing gain Olympic recognition. The physical demand of dance sport has
been the subject of scientific research.
• Competitive ballroom dancing, as distinct from the leisure activity, has recently
been renamed throughout the world as "dance sport" (the sport of competition
dancing).
• Dance sport has a highly organized international competition structure and is
conducted at the highest competitive level. Dance sport will be included in the
2000 Olympics as a demonstration event.

BASIC MECHANICS
• The judging of the couple begins, when they adopt their dancing
position and ends only when the music stops. The adjudicator must
check his/her marks during the entire dance and amend them if
necessary.
• Ifa couple stops dancing while the music is still being played, the
couple must be placed last in the dance, if this happen in the final
round, the couple must be placed last in the dance.
• Couple must be judge solely on the performance in the specific
dance at the specific time. Any considerations of titles, previous
performances in other dance is not permitted.
• An adjudicator is no obligation to justify his/her marks to
competing couples. During in the competition, or in the
interval between rounds of a competition, the judges is
prohibited from any discussion about the competitors
and/or their performance with any person.
• In all dances, timing and basic rhythm will take
precedence over the other fields of adjudication, so that if
a couple repeatedly makes mistakes in this category, they
must be placed last in the dance.
