DOMAIN DANCE® LEVELS I-VI
Introducing DOMAIN DANCE® for the American Sport Dance Games® programs based on the traditions of ballet and jazz. Domain Dance® introduces and utilizes the core skills dance students need to achieve competencies in dance. A specific skill list for turns, jumps, flexibility training, performance, traveling movement and choreography patterns for your students grades K-12. Our ownership seminars introduce how to choreograph team routines for consistency and an OBJECTIVE RUBRIC SCORE system is used at our events. Routines are scored on what is in the routines.
What is contained on each level is discussed by all attendees at in person seminars for understanding and design development. VIP Members of AADI can add/delete rules and discuss the elements contained in the rubrics at seminars BEFORE events are held yearly.
Each team competes for four minutes, one compulsory routine (learned at teacher/student conferences), one creative designed by the entering studio. Music must be APPROPRIATE for family listening, and dancers wear their dance studio team uniform not costumes for BOTH routines.
YOU ONLY COMPETE WITH OTHER STUDIOS IN THE SAME DIVISION AS YOU!!! THE EDUCATIONAL SITE LICENSE IS FOR ONE OF THE THREE LEVELS COORDINATING WITH YOUR CHOICE TO HOLD EVENTS BASED ON YOUR DIVISION. EVENTS ARE OPEN ONLY TO OUR AADI MEMBERS.
