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
