Key metrics
Strength Score
A 0–100 composite rating based on your competition performance. Uses different weights depending on your level — novice dancers are scored on callback quality and advancement, while higher-level dancers are scored more heavily on finals placement and WSDC data.
Odds to Finals
Your estimated probability of making finals at each event, based on your strength relative to historical competitors at that event.
Power Rankings
A ranked list of the top dancers in the circuit, combining finals performance, callback rates, WSDC points, activity, and longevity.
Judge Quality
Which judges are best at identifying talent early — specifically, which judges give high marks to dancers who later advance to higher divisions.
