AWARDS
At MOVE, we understand the importance of recognition.
Awards are distributed throughout the weekend via medals, trophies, plaques, frames, cash awards, MOVE vouchers and scholarships.

Dance routines competing at MOVE will be judged by a panel of three (3) professional judges who will award each routine a score out of one hundred (100) marks. The three (3) marks will be averaged to achieve a final mark for each performance.
