The process to become a judge is based on an ongoing process of education, interning and evaluation. The intern process takes as long as necessary based on individual performance and evaluations. A minimum of three successful "trial" experiences are required before certification may be granted, which may take more than one season.
Each intern must have one successful trial at a category competition. These evaluations will be completed by the Internship Team.
Each intern must have one successful trial at a traditional event. This evaluation will be done by the Internship Team.
Once these successful trials have been completed, the intern will complete a “Certification Event” as their final evaluation. The Evaluation Director will complete this evaluation for certification.
Captions: New interns will be asked to concentrate their efforts on learning the Execution caption for their first certification. This is to help interns get visual experience and support building a dance terminology that is used in all captions. Occasionally, experienced coaches and choreographers coming through the process will be directed towards interning in Content or Overall Effect, where they may already have more experience.

If you are interested in adding another caption to your certifications, attached the "how to" on that process. Since we are mid-season, you probably like to get some practice in. Please email Kristen Myers and let her know. one week in advance, what events you will be attending as an intern in your new caption, so that she can contact the event director in advance.
