FAIRNESS PLEDGE
Streetz Dance Convention and Competition Fairness Pledge is a company wide effort by all Streetz staff, faculty, crew, and assistants to implement equality and fairness in all aspects of every Streetz events including convention classes, judging competition, judging auditions, customer relations, etc.
FAIR JUDGING
​
This season, Streetz will be one of the first dance conventions to be working with Impact Dance Adjudicators and will have a pre-screened IDA Judge on the judging panel at ALL 2023 events. Impact Dance Adjudicators is the first and only service in the industry to offer pre-screened, background checked, experienced, and most importantly, unbiased judges to dance events nationwide. IDA Judges are in-demand, professional adjudicators who are known to supply quality, detailed critiques. LEARN MORE about Impact Dance Adjudicators.
​
If a faculty member that is judging competition has choreographed a dance that is competing during their time on the judges panel, that faculty members score will not count and the average of the other judges scores will be taken for that routine.
​
Current Dancer of the Year Winners and Streetz Company members must follow our 50% fairness policy for competition routines. This policy states that if a dance consists of 50% or over of DOTY or Company members, The dance is not allowed to compete competitively. It may still perform under the Showcase category. ​
​
At Streetz National Finals, during the extensive Company and Dancer of the Year Auditions, if any faculty member teaches any dancer(s) auditioning or has a familial relation to them, they may not judge, score, vote, or have any input considered for that dancer.
​
Fairness and Equality are Streetz top priorities for the past, present, and future.
​
A note from the Director, Ty Riley:
​
From day one, I built Streetz based on integrity and values. I personally stand by our fairness pledge and will continue to put rules and practices in place to insure fairness and equality for all participants.
