The following sequence
is used for Miss High Kick and Kick company at our summer camps
and is also the kick sequence used at our State and National
Kick-Off. Please take
time to go over the kick series for memory purposes prior to the
kick off. |
|
An instructor will go over the series
following camp dance on the first morning of camp and the series
will also be quickly reviewed prior to the kick off at the State
and National Kick-Off.
The
kick off will take place either after Home Routine Evaluation or
after All American Auditions, depending on the camp
schedule. The time and date of Miss American High Kick
contest will be listed on the Nationals schedule the Wednesday
prior to the contest. The state kick-off times will be
listed on the dance clinic information.

What
the Judges are looking for when watching for your kick technique:
|
| Judging
behind the line: |
- Watching for the back to be straight
and the hips to stay parallel to the floor
|
| Watching
from the side of the line: |
- Checking for proximity of leg
to body
- Extension of leg and foot
- Check for forward head movement
during kicks
|
| Watching
from the front: |
- Check the support foot- should
not have much turnout
- Check the hip for over-lift
- Check the kicks for alignment
at 12:00 o'clock
- Check the extension of the foot
- Check the 'prep' (small
movement; smooth)
- Check for head placement and
control
- Fans: Full rotation/ timing/
extension of feet and knee
|
| Please
Note: |
- All staff will check for technique
first, and then height
- The height should not distract
from good technique
- Height is important but it is
not exclusive criteria when judging for
Miss High Kick and Kick Company
