When people enter Pro/Am, I believe they enter it according to the level of the student (correct me if I'm wrong). But what about professionas? When I watch Pro/Am competitoin, I clearly see that some professionals are a lot better dancers than other pros. Overall picture ends up being somewhat uneven - weaker students with stronger teachers, some really strong students that dance better than their teachers (I've seen that too). How do judges decide on the placing? To what extent the level of the Pro is taken into account?

WWD - thanks for answering. I'm not talking about judges being biased though. I'm rather curios about how is the system supposed to work in "ideal" unbiased world.

I've seen students tanked by a novice pro, or one who's drunk, even, as I'm sure you have. But the ballroom world is pretty small, and the judges tend to be highly experienced, so there's some compensation. A lot of those pro's, if you think about it, are gunning for a rising star trophy, or some such, so even if the judges don't know them in advance, they do pretty quickly. It's not completely fair, but neither are some other aspects. For instance, I've used a coach's choreography only to find later he's sitting in a judge's chair when I'm planning to use that choreography. They try to be objective, but I suspect it may gain you a point every here and there if you know a judge and have had a previous friendly relationship.

i'd say seek ballroom dance competitions on the workstation or maybe dance competitions. as quickly as I even have searched there is countless dance competitions around. i'm hoping I helped you out. good good fortune to you and your ballroom dance enterprise.
