How it works

This dance competition score sheet is a judge's table in one browser tab: a row for each routine, a score out of 10 for technique, choreography and performance, and a total out of 100. No sign-up, and it prints blank.

Score a routine: three boxes, one total

Type the routine's title over Entry 1, then a score from 0 to 10 in each box. Technique counts four times and the other two three times each, so 8.5, 9 and 8 make 85. The highest total is marked Leading.

Add up a panel of judges

Give every judge a blank print. Afterwards pick Add the judges and type each judge's total for a routine along its row. The sheet averages the totals typed, so a panel of three and a panel of five end on the same scale of 100.

  • An event with its own categories? Write them over the three headings on the blank print and add those rows by hand.

Questions and answers

How is a dance competition scored?

There is no single standard. Each competition sets its own criteria and points, and a maximum of 100 points from each judge is common. The three criteria and the weights on this dance score sheet are our own suggestion.

Is there a printable dance score sheet?

Yes. Before anything is typed the main button prints this one blank: ten routine rows on a Letter or A4 page, each with a box for technique, choreography, performance and the total. Save as PDF in the print window keeps a file.

Does one sheet work for solos, duos and groups?

Yes. A row is one entry of any size: a soloist's name, a duo or a group's routine title. Score one division at a time and print it before the next, so that Leading is marked among entries that compete with each other.

What happens when two routines tie?

Two routines level on the highest total are both marked Tied and the sheet picks neither; equal totals lower down get no mark. Settle the tie-break before judging starts, for example the higher technique score, and tell the judges.
