Filming tips for the best AI score:
Auditions are scored against an AI skill rubric (out of 100):
| Criterion | Points | What is measured |
|---|---|---|
| Rhythm & timing | 25 | How closely moves land on the beats of the Revve track |
| Energy & execution | 20 | How much movement there is, how sharp and controlled it is, and whether it holds for the full routine |
| Choreography variety | 20 | Number of distinct moves and transitions |
| Team sync | 15 | How well team members move together |
| Creativity & originality | 10 | How different the routine is from all other entries |
| Presentation | 10 | Whether dancers are clearly visible and Revve is worked into the routine |
How scores are combined at each stage:
| Stage | AI rubric | Social engagement | In-app votes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auditions → Top 20 | 70% | 30% | — |
| Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 & Final | — | 30% | 70% |
