The judges are looking for the person that encompasses all the above criteria and therefore looking for the COMPLETE POPPER.
Competition is a learning tool. The results reflect hitting the judges’ criteria.
The event is designed to help one improve and understand popping better. Unity through understanding. This competition is between you and your potential, not any opponents. Do not miss an opportunity to grow. Support the results; it is part of the attitude.
