Why I Love Adjudicating
INSPIRATION As a passionate dance educator, a weekend of watching young performers in all their moments of anticipation, joy, learning, and glory leaves my heart full.
GREAT NEW & OLD MUSIC I inevitably collect a list of great new song choices for teaching, choreography, and listening.
CONNECTIONS I've made incredible friends, learned by watching other adjudicators give feedback, and acquired new work opportunities through connections made with fellow adjudicators.
STAYING CURRENT I'm always amazed by the creativity and technical work happening in other dance communities and feel attuned to the latest trends across the country whenever I adjudicate.
RECOGNIZING GREAT EDUCATORS Being an industry leader means recognizing others. Honoring exceptional dance teachers for their work is a win for dancers, studios, and, of course, teachers!
