Practice Labs: Hip Hop

Register

No performance. No pressure. Just reps.

Why this lab exists…

Hip Hop is one of the most frequently adjudicated — and most inconsistently understood — disciplines in competition dance.

Many adjudicators:

  • Did not train extensively in Hip Hop

  • Feel unsure of current standards, priorities, and vocabulary

  • Want to give strong feedback but hesitate around language or context

This Lab exists to close that gap.

It provides a structured, supportive space to practice adjudicating Hip Hop intentionally, ask questions that don’t fit on a competition weekend, and learn through shared discussion and expert facilitation.

What to expect…

In this live online, 2-hour Practice Lab, participants will:

  • Adjudicate selected Hip Hop clips in real time

  • Practice scoring and note-taking

  • Compare perspectives and priorities

  • Refine discipline-appropriate language

  • Participate in facilitated discussion and Q&A

Who is this for…

  • Certified and working dance adjudicators

  • Adjudicators who feel less confident adjudicating Hip Hop

  • Adjudicators who want to strengthen consistency, clarity, and confidence

  • Professionals who value preparation over guesswork

This is not a performance.

This is not a lecture.

This is practice.
