❤️ - Shari
Had an absolutely incredible time adjudicating @dancejam_ last week! It was an honour and a privilege to share the panel with the INCOMPARABLE @sherriescherger ! It was pure joy hearing you speak and bouncing ideas and decisions off of you! One of the most amazing people I’ve ever had the pleasure of sharing a panel with. Thank you Shari for your generosity, and for having me in once again! Dance Jam has been one of my favourite events to adjudicate since I first started, nearly 20 years ago. This was my third time in the last 14 years and it was a truly memorable one! Thank you students, teachers and choreographers for your remarkable work! I’m so lucky to have shared my love and knowledge of dance with you all! Best of luck with the rest of the season! Until next time…
Keep Dancin’!!
- Mr. Josh ❤️❤️
