The German Dance Sports Association awards the German Dance Sports Badge for dance performance. Last weekend 13 children and 17 adults danced for this badge. Unlike usual, the acceptance test was carried out in our club room and it was a very cozy and familiar atmosphere.
The badge is awarded in:
| Bronze | after the first successful acceptance |
| Silver | to the holder of the bronze badge after another successful acceptance |
| gold | to the holder of the silver badge after another successful acceptance |
| Brilliant | to the holder of the badge in gold after another successful acceptance |
| Gold/brilliant with number | after 5, 10, 15, 20, … decreases |
The dancers were able to choose their favorite dances from a variety of dances. For the bronze badge, three dances must be performed. The silver badge is awarded for 4 dances, the gold badge for 5 dances and for the brilliant badge 6 dances must be danced.
In addition to these badges, the so-called Dancing starlets be obtained. This badge is specifically for children up to 8 years old. Only 2 dances have to be shown for the little dancing star and 3 dances for the big dancing star.
After all the dancers had arrived in the rooms and asked for their favorite dances, they could dance in. After the dancing, the dances were accepted. Two or three couples danced together.
Ute Golz and Martin Lutz performed the dances and assessed:
- music (beat, rhythm, musicality),
- Balances (static, dynamic balance, leadership in couple dancing) and
- Movement sequences (in space, in the course of the energy unit, of a movement element).
A dance was “passed” if the music category was assessed with a cross and at least one further cross was awarded in the two remaining categories (balances and movement sequences).
All participants passed their selected dances and thus successfully achieved their desired badge.
We are happy for all the dancers and would like to thank Ute Golz and Martin Lutz for the performance and Stefan Schulz for the music.
