COMPETITION
NEW THIS YEAR
New Scoring System. Celebrating Every Dancer at Their Own Level!
We added a new performance division.
Only productions can compete without attending the intensives, and there will be no consideration of levels for productions. All will compete in their age divisions.
All routines will be judged for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place based on scores. You must achieve the required score of at least 90 % to win 1st place, even if you're the only one in your category.
If two or more judges bump the routine up to the next level division, the routine will move to a higher level with a 1-point deduction.

Celebrating Every Dancer at Their Own Level!
New Scoring System
This year, we are proud to introduce our new scoring system, designed with every participant in mind. Our goal is simple: to recognize dedication, support dance studios, and give every dancer a fair chance to shine.
Scores now reflect training hours and experience, giving dancers with more years of preparation the opportunity to achieve higher scores. As always, this system reduces pressure by ensuring dancers only compete against others at the same level: beginners with beginners, intermediates with intermediates, and elite with elite.
This approach also supports studio growth. Studio directors can confidently motivate their students to keep training, knowing that every dancer has a clear path to progress and reach their best possible score. REVOLT’s mission has always been to empower dance studios and inspire every student.
Earning a REVOLT Standout as a beginner will naturally be more challenging, since experience is just beginning, but that’s exactly what makes it so special and rewarding. This system creates a fairer, more inspiring experience for everyone, allowing each dancer to shine in their own category, celebrate their progress, and feel proud of their journey.

AWARDS BY PERFORMANCE DIVISION
Each participating routine will receive an award according to the following scores:
BEGINNER
1st, 2nd, 3rd
INTERMEDIATE
1st, 2nd, 3rd
ELITE
1st, 2nd, 3rd
In the solo division the 10 highest scores of the competition will be awarded.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In any level, category, or performance division, even if there is no competition, routines are still assessed based on adjudication scores to determine 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. Therefore, even if a routine is the only one in its category, it still needs to meet the required score to obtain its placement. This means that your choreography will not automatically receive a 1st place if it is the only routine in its category.
REVOLT SMASH
Regardless of the competition scores, this award is given to GROUP routines selected by the judges for presenting an extraordinary performance.
In Revolt, we promote teamwork. This is why, in certain cities where we have a closing show, if you are a dance studio that has Line and/or Production choreographies, our judges may ask you to perform any one of your group choreographies.
