Why should I become a Danscend certified adjudicator?

Dance adjudicator comments can become dancers' negative self-talk.

This virtual training session guides adjudicators and educators in how to better provide feedback to dancers in a way that supports and encourages their mental wellness.

Adjudicators will learn about how to support positive dancer self-talk, encourage a healthy body image, give constructive feedback, and craft educational and supportive critiques that support and empower dancers.

Danscend resources are thoroughly researched, vetted by mental health professionals, and created from peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Take the step to help make the competition and convention community a happier, healthier place.

After attending a live 2.5 hour virtual training on zoom, enrollees will be able to access the assessment quiz. Upon successful completion of the assessment quiz, educators will be issued a printable certificate, good for two years after issue date.
Join the hundreds of certified dance educators, adjudicators, and organizations who can proudly say they have taken a powerful step toward supporting dancer mental health and wellness.
