The A-Jury evaluates the all components of Choreography that matches perfectly with music and theme in order to transform a sport exercise into an artistic performance with creative and unique characteristics by respecting the specificity of Aerobic Gymnastics.

Routine Components

The step routines should include: Step actions with different orientations and approaches to the step Formation changes, and different way to carry the step from one place to another Partnerships (collaboration) between the members of the group and the step (position of the step, use of the step) The movements must be adequate for step (platform) and involve to the maximum of stepping with less choreography on the surface.

THEME

The routine must have a “THEME”.  It should give a story to the choreography.  Not only with the attire but with the movements (stepping) and music (respecting the sport manner). The team must present choreography as a unit.

STEPPING

Stepping with Aerobic Basic Steps (Step-up/Step-down, V-step, Knee-Lift, Kick, Step touch, Tap-up/Tap-down, Turn Step, Over the Top, Lunge, etc.) throughout the routine in combination with arm movements.
This does not mean show the repetitions of the same stepping as in fitness class.  Must demonstrate variety of stepping throughout the routine.

FORMATIONS

Choreography must show the change of formations in variety with or without the step (platform).

CONSECUTIVE 3 SETS

The routine must include consecutive 3 sets of 8-count (24-counts) stepping performed by all members on the same Step without moving the Steps (platforms).
This will be evaluated as same system as the Block of AMP sets.
