This is a picture of me and a few of my teammates after the awards ceremony at a competition. We all have our trophies in front of us and some of us also have a medal as well. I chose to use this photo because I am doing my documentary about competitive dance and the effects of unfair judging. I used this picture to show what a competition stage looks like and the different trophies you receive after every competition. What you don’t see in this picture is the placing of each dancer in the overalls. You can’t tell who beat who and who won the highest award. You also can’t tell that because of this award ceremony, some of us are not friends anymore. Judging at national dance competitions has become something that is unfair and harsh. Judges now use connections and familiarity to choose the winner of the competition. In my documentary, I would like to talk about the unfairness and why judges don’t use a criteria for judging. I also would like to talk about the effects of judging on dancers and their families. I think that picture best shows what national dance competitions look like and gives you a feel for how things are done for competitions.
