In this article, the authors, based on the analysis and systematization of scientific research, consider topical issues regarding the criteria for judging dance couples at different stages of technical improvement. Active entry of artistic language into sports requires, first of all, understanding the content of aesthetic requirements for the performing skills of dancers. Analysis and generalization of the judging experience shows that there are too many criteria for evaluating dancing couples to consider each in detail in the amount of time allotted for the performance, especially since, at best, six couples dance simultaneously on the stage. Therefore, the judge relies on the general impression left by the couple. The result in dance sport depends on the evaluation system. The study allows us to consider the possibility of presenting a new version of the Sports Department of the World Federation of Dance Sport as a significantly improved version of the "2.1" system, which is primarily transparent, objective, understandable in assessing the performance of duos in dance competitions. The judging system "3.0" can lead to greater accountability of judges and direct and constructive feedback for athletes.
