Competition Judging

AJ is proud to be a regular on the judging panel for DECAdance Dance Competition since January 2020. DECAdance is an incredible company serving the dance competition world, and heavily emphasizes the need for dancers to receive quality education and feedback from their competitive events. AJ frequently serves as the specialty judge for acrobatics and ballet, and occasionally lends his expertise in other styles such as modern, lyrical, contemporary and open.

DECAdance features a unique judging system with four specialized judges, and each judge's score will have a higher scoring rate than the other judges in their respective category. For example, the jazz judge will hold a higher percentage of the dance’s overall score than the other three judges during a jazz routine. This ensures all routines are scored appropriately by qualified experts in each genre. Solos will be provided with live feedback post-performance from the specialized judge of their routine's genre. AJ primarily serves as the Acrobatics judge, but also shares his expertise in ballet, modern and other styles as well.
