HAWKS METHOD ♥ Streetstar
We are proud to present a collaboration with Hawks Method in Stockholm during the Streetstar Festival 2022.
The Hawks Method Digital System is an application, as well as an online platform (currently under development), specifically designed for the evaluation, training and certification of urban dancers. Massangila “Yugson” Lumengo, world-class choreographer, teacher, and competitor of Hip-Hop and House Dance, has been developing the Hawks Method Digital System from 2015, by reflecting on his own experience, discussing with international pioneers of street dance, and doing extensive research. It has thus far been exploited in different contexts of dance education and competition.
The Hawks Method evaluation grid is a twenty-point journey divided in 4 categories: foundations, technique, musicality and creativity. Each of these categories corresponds to five prompts, the answer of which is evaluated from 1 to 5. These prompts are flexible and adapted to the discipline, context, public and level. In every case, the prompts consist of “constraints” whose objective is to push the dancers to go beyond their limits. The hypothetical “perfect dancer” gets a result of 100% (4x5x5). The capacity of dancers to respond to these prompts is evaluated in a freestyle format.
EXHIBITION SHOWCASE BATTLE
We have invited some of the most prominent dancers in Europe.
These dancers will both show how the Hawks Method is presented in the best way, but also to challenge themselves to get together as many points as possible. The dancers who get the most points from the invited, will judge when Hawks Method opens up to anyone who wants to register for the competition the next day.
Each dancer dance for 1 minute in front of a judge / challenge and then rotate directly to the next judge / challenge. So it goes on until the dancer has done all the challenges.
5 judges = 2 topics x 5 challenges on each topic: FOUNDATION & TECHNIQUE! 2×5 minutes for each dancer = 10 solos!!
INVITED DANCERS GETS 4 TOPICS x 5 CHALLENGES = 20 SOLOS!!!
FOUNDATION • TECHNIQUE • MUSICALITY • CREATIVITY
FOR DANCERS: CONCEPT / RULES – HIP HOP 1vs1
PRESELECTION
The preselections will be performed as above with the Hawks Method concept. 5 judges = 5×2 challenges = 5×2 minutes for each dancer. 5 challenges at the time.
The 16 dancers who have received the highest score advance to the round of 16 battles 1vs1.
BATTLES
Round of 16 – two (2) solos per dancer
Quarter finals – two (2) solos per dancer
The remaining four (4) dancers advance to a final in the concept 7 to smoke, where the judges enter the battles. The head judge will judge this battle.
Time limit 7 to smoke: 25 minutes.
