“I can highly recommend the event”

“I recently had the pleasure of adjudicating the Dance Section at the Hamilton Competitions of 2022. It was an impressive five day event. Both the quality of the competitors and the organisation of the event was exceptional.

The atmosphere was both friendly and highly professional. I can highly recommend the event to all dance teachers, students and the wider dance community.”
