Judge Training Intensive with Paul Warden
As the World Swing Dance Council introduces its new Judge Certification Program to the West Coast Swing community, there’s no better opportunity to learn than from one of the people who helped create it.
Join Paul Warden for an exclusive Judge Training Intensive at Midland Swing Open. Whether you’re an experienced judge, aspiring to join the judging panel, or simply want a deeper understanding of how West Coast Swing competitions are evaluated, this intensive offers invaluable insight.
Discover how judges assess competitors, what they’re looking for on the floor, and gain a clearer understanding of the judging process. This knowledge can help you become a more informed competitor, coach, and dancer.
In addition to the intensive, a limited number of Mock Judging spots are also available. Apply your learning in a real judging environment, review your score sheets, and discuss your marks and decision-making process to gain valuable feedback and experience. Coleen Man will be heading up our Mock judging panels and review sessions.
