DISCIPLINE DESCRIPTION
STREET DANCE SHOW
1) CHARACTERISTICS AND MOVEMENTS: · Performed technique must be within character of dance technique that is listed in the rules under IDO Street dance department: Hip Hop, Disco Dance , Break Dance, Electric Boogie and Techno. · The performance presented by dancers can be done using the listed techniques as they decide so: either in a pure version or as a mix. Example: The performance that is being presented only in Hip hop dance technique will be equally adjudicated as a performance that mixes Hip Hop, Disco Dance and Techno.
2) All pieces MUST have a show case, theme or idea that MUST be clearly visible throughout the whole performance. · NOTE: Musicality, variety of dance and dance patterns, originality, together with a well-done and well performed stage and individual/ORIGINAL choreography will be highly evaluated. It is very important to present harmony of idea, music, dance, choreography, costumes and props. Presentation and the entire image will be evaluated.
3) In Children’s division:
a. Any kind of jumps from props at the height of more than 1 m is prohibited (jumps from props can be equally dangerous as lifts)
b. Break Acrobatics are not allowed (head spins, head slides).
4) Acrobatic Movements: permitted as outlined under General Provisions of Street Dance Disciplines. Any floor gymnastic combinations that are composed of more than three (3) acrobatic elements should be kept to a minimum.

TAP
1) Characteristics and Movement: Although the primary emphasis should be on the harmonious blend of the dancer’s footwork (sound), many variables exist. All forms of tap will compete against each other, such as: Rhythm, Hoofing, Buck and Wing, Waltz Clog, Military, Precision Kick Line, Latin and Musical Theatre.
2) Jingle taps, double taps or double claques are not permitted.
3) The music must not contain prerecorded taps. Personal amplification devices are not permitted
4) No more than 30 seconds of a cappella or tacet (silence) may be used in any one routine. The absence of music must occur within the music and not at the beginning or end. “Stop Time” is an open part of a measure of music, not played but silent, with some notes being played. “A Capella” is an open phrase of multiple measures in length, but completely absent (silent) of any/all music.
NOTE: Music must be played at the beginning and end of the music and the A Capella must be no longer than 30 seconds. A Capella can also be defined as “Tacit.”
5) The dancer’s taps and the music must be clearly audible to the audience and adjudicators. NOTE: The Organizer must make sure the stage has adequate floor microphones and speakers to make this possible.
6) Acrobatic Movements that are an integral part of the routine are permitted as outlined under General Provisions of Performing Arts, but will not enhance the dancer’s score.
7) Regarding health and safety issues in Tap dance, it is not allowed to dance or perform toe work (dancing on pointe) in the Children’s age division for longer than one beat of music. The definition of this being dancing or standing on the tips of the toes in weight-bearing steps on one or both feet. Toe work/dancing on pointe will be for no longer than one beat of the music on one or both feet in Children’s Division.
NOTE: No more than one beat and NO weight bearing pointe work at any time. This is stated strictly to clarify the rule already in effect
