Every studio competition we go to allows at least 3 minutes for a team routine. If I come to an Elements Dance Championship, will I have to shorten my number?

What is category scoring?

   

In 1995, COA was the first company to develop and implement Category Scoring at its championships. The now-popular system, allows judges to focus entirely on one aspect of a routine (such as technical skills), versus the entire routine, is what makes our score system so accurate.
