Winners of the Just Dance contest 27/06/2020

Earlier this month, dancers from all around the world participated in an online “Just Dance” contest, organized by WDSF Academy in conjunction with researchers from Stanford University. The aim was to promote active dancing during this challenging time.

The “Just Dance” competition entries were judged by a panel of three WDSF international adjudicators - Evgeny Imrekov (Russia), Jack Qian (China), and Silvia Pitton (Italy). The judges judged the entries based on how creative, captivating or authentic the videos are. 

We divided the videos into ages 16 and above (“Adult”) and ages 15 and below (“Junior”). The judges were only given the competition entry numbers and videos for judging, and were asked to judge the videos based on the first minute of the videos if the videos exceeded one minute. 

Originally, we announced that there would be two Champion and two runners-up winners. The Champions will receive a competition costume from Kostumer, 200 Euros or 2 online dance lessons with a WDSF Champion of their choice. The two runners-up winners will receive Kostumer practice wear, 100 Euros or 1 online lesson with a WDSF Champion of their choice. Due to a large number of impressive entries, we will also be awarding two third-place winners with a cash prize of 50 Euros. Additionally, the top 10 winners will receive fashionable masks, courtesy of Kostumer group.
