Who knows how brutal these things are? I do!
So first off, you can’t drop anything. Even dropping a feather is disqualification.
The dancer has to step to beat perfectly and stop when the song stops. These things last for HOURS. Literally going past midnight.
The dancer cannot touch another dancer or else they get disqualified.
Mistepping is a disqualification.
No “rest” in the middle of a dance. If a dancer stops from exhaustion, they’re out.
Each dancer represents their tribe. Each tribe has a specific dance move they do as a signature piece to the tribe. However, the dances are “similar” because the “winning” dance moves are based on the popular “vote” or from a previous winner’s dance. The dance of Desert Storm was popular for a while.
Thank you MUS&106 for showing me a documentary for this.
