For Adjudicators
Tap Adjudicator Certification was created to support adjudicators who want to feel more confident, informed, and consistent when evaluating tap.
Many judges are asked to adjudicate tap categories without extensive training in the style itself. This program helps bridge that gap by providing practical education focused specifically on tap technique, musicality, terminology, scoring considerations, and constructive feedback.
Whether you come from a tap background or are looking to strengthen your understanding of the genre, this certification provides tools that can immediately improve the quality and clarity of your adjudication.
This program offers adjudicators a professional and approachable way to expand their knowledge while feeling more prepared to evaluate tap routines with confidence and accuracy.
Strong adjudication has the power to shape a dancer’s experience.
By investing in continued education, adjudicators are not only supporting their own professional growth — they are supporting the dancers, teachers, and studios who rely on thoughtful and informed feedback.
