Ask the Judges: Steve Dougherty | How a ballroom Judge evaluate dancers？

Everything Ballroom: Ask the Judges
How do ballroom judges judge competitors? Common questions to be addressed.
Sample questions:
What do you look for at dance competitions?
Some competitors feel judges are very political and judge people based on who dances more, who does coaching lessons, what’s your opinion on this?
Footwork vs top, what is more important?
Does the pro performance count when judging Amature ladies
Can you see a performer on the far side of the floor?
Is there a recommendation to dance in the quarter-final vs final round? e.g: Quarter-final focus on footwork, semi-final add some emotional elements, final round all out...
Do you remember a dancer from comp to comp and what improvement they have made? Will that impact your scoring?
What are the acceptable social interaction between an active judge and an active competitor?
