If this is a sport as many claim it to be all competitors should be judged on ability firstly. Judges should be consistent with the marks according if this is the case.
How a judge can be qualified to comment or mark any competitor on appearance is beyond me. The judges may claim to be qualified as marking dancers but what credentials have any of them got in appearance of competitors and what training or experience do they have in this.
This all leads back to the competitors having ghe identifiers on costumes to make it easier for judges. So blatant to see what’s going.
It’s a sport not a beauty pageant
Appearance is a matter of opinion and no 10 people will agree the same. Competitors need to be judged on ability and not appearance
