AMERICAN SPORT DANCE GAMES® Q&A
Do you have a smaller number of student dance team members whose parents cannot afford the current studio dance competition circuit? Are you in an area of the country where the larger competitions do not come to? Are you looking for a way to increase student involvement, so students can learn more, but your parent clients do not want to overwhelm their child or themselves in something not viewed as a sport? Organize a seminar, be surprised that there is a different way to reward student achievement in your studio!!!
Here Are Our FAQs From You And To You!
How Can An Individual(s) Own An Event?
Studio dance competitions are currently owned by one person or a small group of people who may or may not have been in dance education. Why can’t you as an individual, a studio, or dance educator own one of our events? Studio dance competitions are often TOURS. Our events are held in specific areas of a state, creating their own regional tour without the complexity of hiring teams to travel or asking judges to subjectively score routines based on their experience as professional dancers who were once studio dancers. All those who adjudicate events and/or teach conferences for us are VIP Members of AADI, and are CERTIFIED to adjudicate/teach for our events.
How Can You Assure That The Events Are Scored Objectively?
The RUBRIC BASED SCORE SYSTEM available ONLY at our events is completely different, although others have tried to copy it which has resulted in teachers, students, parents and studio owners becoming frustrated and complaining a great deal about LEVELS. Based on the EXPECTATIONS For Dance Curriculum Frameworks®, our method of scoring is based on the curriculum rubrics attendees at our seminars are introduced to.
Our curriculum design is called DOMAIN DANCE®, all compulsory and creative routines must follow, all routines are score on what is IN the routine and therefore it is objective scoring not subjective scoring. There is training and certifications for this method available at an additional session for those who choose to purchase the educational site license via a VIP AADI membership. All who attend agree to additional constraints.
Rubrics are used in public education for specific skills students are required to meet in specific subjects. They are not based on a scoring of up to 100 points, but on how well a student achieves in the classroom, allowing for future improvement. EXPECTATIONS are part of the overall concept introducing a modern model for dance education and the Dance Classroom®.
Why Are There No Solos-Duo-Trios Or Small Groups
American Sport Dance Games® are team based, meaning the entries are for teams only beginning at 8 members for grades K-2, and 10 members or more for other educational grades. Games are based on what American Sport Dance Games® level students achieved, size of the team and size of the entering studio to keep the meets leveled.
What Is The Per Student Entry Fee?
The entry fee per student is $70, which we do post on our website, additional fees by facilities is their responsibility to explain to their students and it is suggested the fee be added into their tuition. The fee includes both sections of play compulsory and creative for four minutes of performance-achievement play. Each meet is scheduled for 90-minutes of play, like a sports game. Each meet day contains four American Sport Dance Games®. Events can be played on a weekend or as an after school event. After school meets allow for 2 games per meet. This is explained in full at a seminar.
