X-Factor Moves

X-Factor is back for iDance Classic 2024! Dancers enter as a couple, with a lead and a follow, and must only dance the allowed moves. You will be judged on what you can do with the moves in terms of musicality and creativity.

If you dance a move not on the list, you may be disqualified. For minor infringements, warnings will be issued in the early rounds. Any higher level or weightbearing move could result in a disqualification from round one.

You are allowed any number of spins at any speed (static, travelling, and free), rondes, and walks provided they are part of an allowed move
