Trouble Free Organization Ensured by Highly Trained Volunteers
The smooth running on each individual floor is assigned to a competition management group. Each group consists of a Chairperson, an Assistant and further helpers who sit together along one short side of the dance floor. The judges also contribute to the running of the competitions – they have the job of comparing the performances of the dancers – not always an easy task. There are either five til nine judges to each floor – they rank the performances of the dancers according to the following criteria:
Music – Balance – Characteristic Everything of Interest for the Dancer!
Shows from all the various branches of Dancing are presented during the short periods between the competition rounds. Visitors can explore the latest fashions from the world of dance in the many shops around the balcony level in the Ice Sport Hall where they will find stands for dresses, music, cosmetics and all other dance sport requisites alongside outlets for coffee and cakes, drinks and light meals.
There are more than enough seats around both the 1,800 m2 floor in the Ice Sport Hall for all of our visitors.
