Meet your Judges
Crystal Blues is run BY Blues dancers, FOR Blues dancers.
And our judging team reflects this ethos. Carefully chosen from the social dance-
floor, these are all people who believe in Modern Blues as a social dance.
These are people with a hugely wide range of dance experience and collectively
have been dancing pretty much since the dawn of time itself.
These are dancers who all have a passion for good, strong dance technique and
a clear comprehension of all the individual elements that make up Modern Blues.
These are the individuals entrusted to see beyond the obvious, and into the
minutiae of the dance. To understand the complexities of musicality and to
appreciate the subtleties of connection.
Our judging team understand that Modern Blues is not necessarily a performance
dance and so don’t expect our couples to become performers, preferring to
engage in the opportunity to look beneath the surface and appreciate the finer
arts of musicality, connection, lead and follow, music-led styling and more…
And let us not forget that YOU are part of our judging team.
Every person who attends Crystal Blues becomes a part of our Voting Audience –
collectively becoming one judge.
You are the dancers – your opinion matters.
