The costume must convey a characteristic image but may be simplified/stylized. \n\n\n\nBULGARIAN FOLK DANCES \n\n\n\nBulgarian folk dances are extremely diverse. They differ in rhythm\, tempo\, movement\, formations and style of performance. The characteristic features of the dances are most strongly expressed in each region from which they originate. Therefore\, they are divided into six main groups according to the folkloric regions of Bulgaria – Northern\, Dobrudzha\, Shopluk\, Thracian\, Pirin and Rhodope dances. Key stylistic features include springing movements\, squats (especially in Dobrudzha)\, rhythmic stamping and complex figures reflecting the Bulgarian spirit – strength\, temperament\, mastery and emotionality\, often accompanied by shouts and whistles. The group presents dances or songs with a total duration of up to 10 minutes per category / composition or 2 dances / . \n\n\n\nDANCE SHOW \n\n\n\n*The dance must be story-based or image-based\, with choreography that builds meaningfully\, emotionally or in tempo. Accessories\, decorations and stage materials are allowed. \n\n\n\n*Use of acrobatic elements is allowed\, but does not provide an advantage. \n\n\n\n*Dance lifts\, strength and other elements are allowed. \n\n\n\nDance show is a complex synthesized dance direction based on free combinations of elements of classical choreography\, jazz\, modern\, contemporary choreography\, folk stylization\, variety\, cabaret\, acrobatic elements\, etc. A musical-choreographic miniature structured in a way that reveals meaning and emotional development. The composition may be emotional and include show elements. The basis of the dance must include a dramaturgical action consisting of three compositional elements: exposition\, climax and finale. \n\n\n\nOPEN \n\n\n\n“Open” is a free and eclectic category\, mixing elements from multiple dance styles (hip-hop\, jazz\, ballet\, etc.) and emphasizing creativity\, uniqueness and individual expression\, without strict rules\, with a focus on musicality and freedom of movement. The emphasis is on the dancer combining elements in a unique way\, expressing themselves. – Use of stage sets and decorations is not allowed. – Use of acrobatic elements is allowed\, but does not provide an advantage. – Use of accessories that are part of the costume or the dancer’s image is allowed. \n\n\n\nSOCIAL AND SPORTS DANCES:\n\n\n\n\nSports dances.\n\n\n\nLatin show\n\n\n\nSalsa\n\n\n\nBachata\n\n\n\nMerengue\n\n\n\nRueda\n\n\n\nArgentine tango\n\n\n\nHustle\n\n\n\n\n\nJAZZ.\n\n\n\n*All dance movements must comply with jazz dance technique. Typical leg\, arm and body positions. – Decorations and stage materials are allowed; accessories that are part of the costume or dancer’s image are allowed. \n\n\n\nJazz originated in the USA in the 1960s and combines African-American folklore and dances of other immigrants. It is distinguished by freedom of movement of the body and its parts both horizontally and vertically. – coordination of movements with the rhythm of music; – syncopation – rhythm between strong beats; – isolated movements – mobility of only one part of the body while the rest remains still or moves in another direction. \n\n\n\nCONTEMPORARYContemporary – choreography includes elements of modern\, jazz\, folk dances\, classical ballet with Eastern techniques and culture (yoga\, martial arts). This style is constantly evolving and focuses on body plasticity\, stretching all muscle groups\, jumps\, falls\, slides on the floor\, contact improvisation. A characteristic feature is alternating tense muscles with sudden relaxation\, sharp stops\, falling and rising\, balancing.

They originated in urban conditions (streets\, clubs) in New York in the 1960s/70s\, with roots in the African-American and Latino communities. Street Dance: general term for styles such as breakdancing\, locking\, popping\, house\, krump and others. Hip-hop: broader concept including various combinations of street styles oriented to hip-hop music\, emphasizing groove and rhythmic movement. Hip-hop dance is a social and expressive style linked to hip-hop culture and music.

NEOCLASSICAL\n\n\n\n*Pointe shoes are not approved for dancers in the MINI category. \n\n\n\n*Use of stage scenery\, accessories\, and supports is allowed. \n\n\n\nIn classical choreography\, compositions to classical music may be presented. They are performed in traditional style costumes. Footwear: demi-pointe\, pointe shoes. Dancers in this category must perform classical choreography. \n\n\n\nIn Neoclassical\, compositions may be presented using classical\, stylized classical\, or contemporary music. The choreography must be based on classical technique\, but with original elements from other styles. Originality and stylization may be included in the costumes. Performing barefoot is also possible. \n\n\n\nCHARACTER\, FOLK-STYLIZED\, ETHNO SHOW\n\n\n\n*Choreography must be based on authentic traditional dances. \n\n\n\nThis discipline includes the traditional dances of each nationality\, passed down from generation to generation. Dances may be selected from any geographical or ethnic region and may represent any historical period. \n\n\n\n*The use of characteristic costumes and music is mandatory. \n\n\n\nFolk-stylized dance – choreography must retain the authentic dance character but may incorporate existing dance techniques. The costume should reflect a characteristic image but may be simplified/stylized. \n\n\n\nBULGARIAN FOLK DANCES \n\n\n\nBulgarian folk dances are extremely diverse. They differ in rhythm\, tempo\, movement\, forms\, and playing style. The characteristic features of the dances are most evident across the regions they originate from. Therefore\, they are grouped into six main categories according to Bulgaria’s folkloric regions – Northern\, Dobrudzha\, Shopluk\, Thrace\, Pirin\, and Rhodope dances. Key stylistic elements include bouncing steps\, squats (especially in Dobrudzha)\, rhythmic stamping\, and complex figures reflecting the Bulgarian spirit – strength\, temperament\, skill\, and emotional expression\, often accompanied by shouts and whistles. The group presents dances or songs with a total duration of up to 10 minutes per category / a composition or two dances /. \n\n\n\nDANCE SHOW\n\n\n\n*The dance should be story-based or thematic\, with choreographic development that builds meaning\, emotion\, or tempo. Props\, decorations\, and stage materials are allowed. \n\n\n\n*Use of acrobatic elements is allowed\, but does not provide an advantage. \n\n\n\n*Dance lifts\, strength\, and other elements are allowed. \n\n\n\nDance show is a complex\, synthesized dance direction based on free combinations of classical choreography\, jazz\, modern and contemporary choreography\, folk stylization\, variety\, cabaret\, acrobatic elements\, etc. It is a musical-choreographic miniature arrangement allowing meaningful and emotional expression. The performance may be emotional and contain show elements. The dance must have a dramaturgical action with three compositional elements: introduction\, climax\, and finale. \n\n\n\nOPEN \n\n\n\n“Open” is a free and eclectic style mixing elements from many dance genres (hip-hop\, jazz\, ballet\, etc.)\, emphasizing creativity\, uniqueness\, and personal expression. There are no strict rules\, with a focus on musicality and freedom of movement. Stage scenery and decorations are not allowed. Acrobatic elements are allowed but do not provide an advantage. Accessories that are part of the costume or character are allowed. \n\n\n\nSOCIAL & SPORT DANCES:\n\n\n\n\n \n Sport dances\n \n\n \n Latin show\n \n\n \n Salsa\n \n\n \n Bachata\n \n\n \n Merengue\n \n\n \n Rueda\n \n\n \n Argentine tango\n \n\n \n Hustle\n \n\n\n\n\nJAZZ\n\n\n\n*All dance movements must follow jazz dance technique. Characteristic foot\, arm\, and body positions apply. Decorations and stage materials are allowed. Accessories as part of the costume or character are allowed. \n\n\n\nJazz originated in the USA in the 1960s and combines African-American folklore with the dances of other immigrants. It is characterized by freedom of movement of the body and its parts horizontally and vertically: synchronization with the rhythm; syncopation (rhythm between strong beats); isolated movements (mobility of only one part of the body while the rest remains still or moves in another direction). \n\n\n\nCONTEMPORARY \n\n\n\nContemporary choreography includes elements of modern\, jazz\, folk dances\, classical ballet\, and Eastern techniques/culture (yoga\, martial arts). It constantly evolves and focuses on body plasticity\, stretching all muscle groups\, jumps\, falls\, slides across the floor\, and contact improvisation. A key feature is releasing tension unexpectedly\, sudden stops\, falling and rising\, and balancing. Contemporary includes classical dance elements\, but unlike strict classical forms\, contemporary emphasizes the dancer listening to their body and expressing emotional experiences. \n\n\n\nHIP HOP / STREET DANCE \n\n\n\nHip hop and street dance are umbrella terms for dance styles originating outside studios in urban environments\, connected to hip-hop culture. The focus is on freestyle\, improvisation\, personal expression\, and rhythm\, including elements such as breakdance\, locking\, popping\, house dance\, and others. Developed in New York in the 1960s/70s with roots in African-American and Latin American communities. Props are not recommended; accessories are allowed; acrobatic elements are allowed but should not dominate. \n\n\n\nMTV COMMERCIAL \n\n\n\nMTV Commercial is a highly visual and energetic dance style created for the entertainment industry—music videos\, concerts\, commercials\, and TV shows. The style is not strictly fixed. It combines elements of Hip-Hop\, Jazz Funk\, Street Jazz\, and sometimes Dancehall or Waacking\, and is audience-oriented. Stage presence\, facial expression (“facials”)\, and camera work are essential. Choreography often follows not only the beat but also lyrics and specific sounds. Movements are clean\, sharp\, and accented to look good on screen\, emphasizing individuality\, charisma\, and confidence. \n\n\n\nMAJORETTE GROUPS \n\n\n\nMajorette dance is a colorful\, energetic\, and disciplined style requiring both physical endurance and artistry while creating a festive atmosphere. Emphasis is placed on synchronization\, coordinated work with pom-poms or batons\, and visually attractive costumes. It is typical for parades\, sports events\, and celebrations. Tosses\, pyramids\, and other acrobatic figures may be included. Any music may be used—from pop and rock to folk\, adapted rhythmically. Stage scenery and decorations are not allowed. Acrobatic elements are allowed. Dance lifts and strength elements are allowed. \n\n\n\nACRODANCE \n\n\n\nAcrodance is a performance requiring high physical and coordination skills\, turning acrobatic tricks into part of an elegant dance choreography. It combines the precision and strength of acrobatics with the grace and musicality of dance. It includes complex lifts\, balances\, and throws between partners. Stage scenery and decorations are not allowed. Dance lifts and strength elements are allowed. \n\n\n\nEVALUATION CRITERIA\n\n\n\nDANCE ARTS SECTION\n\n\n\n“INTERPRETATION”: the dancer’s ability to follow rhythm and musicality\, express them through body movement\, use movements and technical elements appropriately to the musical pattern\, and smoothly continue after “stops\,” “pauses\,” and other figures.
