National Adjudication Experience
Ashley DeLane is heading into her sixth season as a national dance adjudicator, traveling the country to work with dancers of all ages and levels. Her favorite part of the job is getting to play a small role in a dancer's growth, offering feedback that builds technique, artistry, and individuality, with healthy, sustainable movement behind it all.

Styles & Divisions
Her words to come. [HER TEXT TO COME] The styles and divisions she judges, room by room: what lands on her scoresheet for the littlest first-timers, the teen soloists, and everyone in between. The list lands here, in her words.
Adjudication Philosophy
Her words to come. [HER TEXT TO COME] The judging philosophy, in her words: what she is actually looking for, how a critique gets built, why the notes are specific enough to use on Monday morning, and what she wants a dancer to feel walking off the stage. The anatomy brain and the artist brain, both on the panel.
