message: In the bulk of this article, one form of competitive dancing is described, but it appears to be entirely unrelated to the variety that has been dubbed DanceSport and which is overseen by IDSF.  Where did the IDSF link to this come from?  It probably does belong here, since it is a form of competitive dance, but more work is required to actually add it to the article.... /blahedo (t) 05:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've never heard of IDSF except from this article and related ones on wikipedia, and I've been immersed in competitive dance since I can remember (well, maybe two years after I can remember). Anyhow, I wouldn't be the one to incorporate it. It appears to me, however, that "DanceSport" and a generic "competitve dance" are fundamentally different. That could, however, be my North American POV. --Keitei (talk) 07:23, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Hmm. I've only heard it called "competitive dancing" or "dancing in competitions." As far as I've been able to gather, each competition operates separately from the others, although there seem to be precedents. I don't think there's any official body that regulates it, however. I've never seen ballroom dancing in it though. It's mostly jazz and "open" (basically jazz with acro), along with some ballet and hip-hop. If DanceSport is a different sport, I'm sure it deserves a mention... I'll keep looking to find a clearer definition of "competitive dance." --Keitei (talk) 22:33, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed a statement that says judge identities are "kept anononymous" for the purpose of "fairness in judgement" -- a dubious claim because (1) it does not apply to any of the 70+ dance competitions I've attended, and (2) there is no logical reason that anonymity would affect judging fairness, and (3) it is not supported by a citation. In fact, at nearly every competition I've been to, the judges are announced to the audience at some point during a competition, sometimes along with a brief biography. The problematic statement has been added to the article several times by various IPs and apparent SPAs, who are likely the same person. Before adding it again, I would ask this person to provide a reliable source that (1) supports the claim that judges are kept anononymous, and (2) explains how judge anonymity improves fairness.
