How much is deducted for lack of balance between acro and dance VP elements on the beam?

The deduction for lack of balance between acro and dance value parts (VP elements) on the balance beam is set at up to 0.20. This reflects the importance of a well-rounded routine that includes a harmonious integration of acrobatic elements and dance elements. The judges are looking for a balanced composition that showcases the gymnasts' versatility and skill in both categories. If a gymnast's routine heavily favors one type of element over the other, this lack of variety and balance can result in a significant deduction. The maximum deduction is designed to emphasize the necessity for gymnasts to showcase a balanced skill set, rewarding those who successfully incorporate a mixture of both acro and dance elements within their routines.
