Dance styles Danzu scores

Danzu scores seven dance styles — hip hop, breaking, house, K-pop, contemporary, shuffle, and heels. You pick your style once, and it sets how the six axes combine into your overall score and what the coaching tells you to work on.

This matters more than it sounds. Styles value different things: contemporary rewards sustained control through slow transitions, breaking rewards explosive power and the ability to stop dead in a freeze. Collapsing both into one overall number with identical weighting would flatter one and punish the other.

So the weighting shifts. A hip hop take leans on groove and timing; a heels take leans on amplitude and sharpness; K-pop leans on precision. The individual axis measurements are common to every style — what changes is how much each one counts toward your overall, and what the coaching asks you to do next.

Every style page below explains what the axes mean in the context of that genre, which one usually caps a self-taught dancer, and the practice loop that moves it fastest.
