The prizes host given to attract the best Arendal has to offer this week, and have the following stages:

1st place: 2500 kr

2nd place: 1500 kr

3rd place: 1000 kr

Rules:

Skinkompas:

The exercise is a test of coordination, rhythm, and endurance, in which a dancer dances across a cross of swords, sticks or bands without losing rhythm or balance. Here it is permissible to come into contact with the bands, as long as one does not lose the step or rhythm, and stays in with the music, and his own cross.

Hat Kick:

The exercise is traditionally “known as hallingkast” or “rundkast” in Norwegian, and involves kicking a hat off a cane from as high as possible. Some gongs are also considered for style points, but this time the show opens up alternative techniques from the Nordic countries, and premieres the absolute high (not the relative height). A throw/kick must be done alone, with its own body and power and hit the hat as high as the mogleg with one foot.
