Resolution criteria

• This resolves based on my choreographed dance performances at wedding-related events I attend before market close (ceremony, reception, sangeet/cocktail events). Casual/social dancing with no fixed choreography is excluded.

• “Miss a step” means any of:

  • Performing the wrong move or sequence for ≥2 beats, or skipping a planned move.

  • Falling out of sync with my group/partner by ≥2 beats due to my error.

  • Stopping or freezing for ≥1 full measure (4 counts in 4/4) due to my error.

• Minor styling differences, recoveries within 1 beat, or intentional improvisations agreed pre-show do not count.

• Partner/music/tech issues don’t count unless I also miss by the above definition.

• Resolution: YES if at least one miss occurs in any qualifying performance; NO if zero misses across all qualifying performances; N/A if I perform no qualifying dances before market close.

• Evidence: I will resolve based on my post-event review (videos if available) and note timestamps/brief rationale in the comments.

Background

• “Wedding events” includes any scheduled performance tied to a wedding (e.g., reception routine or sangeet group number). These typically have fixed choreography and counts, making misses objectively checkable on video.

Considerations

• If choreography changes day-of, I’ll judge against the final version communicated in the last rehearsal or run-through.

• If footwear, floor, or costume malfunctions occur, they only count if they cause me to meet the miss thresholds above.
