JUDGING OBJECTIVITY ANALYSIS WITH JUDGING COMPONENT “MOVEMENT TO MUSIC” IN STANDARD SPORT DANCE “TANGO”

Abstract

Depending on the level and the stage of the appropriate competition, detailed elaborate criteria are used that represent the basic requirements and parameters for assessing the technical and artistic indicators of the dance performance. The application of the Absolute Judging System (AJS) 3.0 to assess the performance of DanceSport Couple (DSC) should contribute to improvement of the following characteristics: greater objectivity; transparency; better understanding by the audience and the media; providing guidance for athletes and coaches; improving the performance of the dancers. Judges have a key influence on the final result, both objectively and subjectively. The subjective factor is often a blow to the professional field. Three components are the main ones that make it work: dance judges have become both coaches and judges, opening up the possibility of favouring your own couples; realistically insufficient assessment time; lack of answers and analysis to DSCs as feedback. This research on the quality of judging using the AJS 3.0, “Movement to Music” judging component for the Standard Sport Dance (SSD) “Tango”, as well as the consistency of judges in knowing and applying this criterion and its indicators, should lead to suppression of bias, inconsistency and subjectivism as factors of poor quality of judging in DanceSport.
