These performances are then judged by selected members of the audience or by a panel of judges consisting of five people, who score each performance from 0 to 10, with the highest and lowest scores being excluded.

There are no appropriate styles or themes; There are several possible languages, which vary according to the diversity of the participants who are part of this movement.
