Note that difficulty of elements is not a factor and technical performance is a factor only to the extent that items a. through f. above are affected.

3. In marking Presentation, the following shall be considered: a. Interpretation of the music and rhythm. b. Musical timing and understanding of the phrasing of the music. c. Use of the entire body to develop the artistic and musical expression. d. Creativity. e. Choreography - art of arranging movements. f. Variation in tempo, tension, emotion, movements. g.
