How para dance sport works

1. Para dance sport is competitive dance in which at least one dancer uses a wheelchair.
2. A combi is a wheelchair user dancing with a standing partner; a duo is two wheelchair users; a single is one wheelchair user dancing alone.
3. Conventional events use the standard and Latin dances, danced in heats; adjudicators pick who goes through, and in the final the lowest total of placings wins. Freestyle is one programme of the dancers' own choice.
4. Freestyle is marked by seven to nine adjudicators on technical skills and choreography.

How long

Each conventional dance lasts at most one and a half minutes. A freestyle programme lasts 1:30 to 3:00, depending on the event.
