Judges & Officials


The judging panel at Harvard Beginners' Competition is composed of alumni from the various dance teams that participate in the competition, with a large portion from Harvard. Each team is invited to nominate judges for inclusion in the panel. While there are no formal requirements, we request that teams only nominate qualified advanced dancers. As a guideline, we envision teams nominating judges who have placed at the Gold Level in competitions with at least a final event.

Nominated judges must not have taught organized team classes or given private lessons to any current competitors (including Bronze and Silver dancers). We impose this requirement on Harvard Judges as well and hope that you understand its importance in maintaining an atmosphere of fairness and impartiality.

Please send nominations for judges to comp@harvardballroom.org by Wednesday October 14th, 2009. Be sure to include names and email addresses.
