Dance Adjudicator

Honest, specific and encouraging feedback for every dancer, from regional eisteddfods to national finals.

PHILOSOPHY & STANDARDS

My Approach

Constructive evaluation grounded in technical precision, developmental empathy, and seamless event stewardship.

Feedback that helps dancers grow

Every performer leaves with something specific to celebrate and something specific to work on, a clear next step rather than just a placing.

Fair and consistent

Each section is assessed against the same clear criteria, from the first dancer of the day to the last.

Mindful of the young person in front of me.

My background in education and counselling shapes how I deliver feedback. I'm aware of how words land with a nervous eight-year-old as much as with a senior soloist.

Respectful of your event

Your competition, your format, your community. I'm there to support how you run things and help your day go smoothly.
