Hi all,forgot to forward this on if anyone is interested in nominating anyone. Please bear in mind if you nominate yourself you cannot dance as it is slightly impossible to dance and judge yourself at the same time! (and not entirely recommended even if you did have a tardis or similar...)They also recommend 5 years of dance experience and having danced with more than one team for experience of styles.In terms of business, not much other than the usual please check the sign up sheet and sign up to the AGM on 12th November if you haven't and Whitby next year as well - I will start chasing that one very soon...sorry for a lack of link to the sheet, am making do with my phone at the mo.See you Monday!

Subject: [TR Committee] Calling all wannabee DERT judges
To:
_______________________________________________
To members of the Rapper world.
As you should all know by now, DERT 2019 will be held in Newcastle upon Tyne organised jointly by Kingsmen, Sallyport and Star and Shadow.
In the recent survey by the DERT Steering Committee the question of judges, how they were selected and how well qualified they were to judge was raised. In an attempt to respond to this we would like to offer the rapper community the opportunity to nominate potential judges for the competitions. The intention of this is to broaden the existing pool of judges and give an opportunity to new people interested in taking on this challenging role.
All nominees will be entered onto the list of potential judges but it will be down to the DERT 2019 committee to decide on the final list of judges with the intention of maintaining a good age, gender and regional balance.
Any nominee will need to be an experienced dancer (I suggest at least 5 years) with a genuine interest in rapper dancing that extends beyond just dancing in their own team. It would be desirable if your nominee has some experience of dancing in more than one team so that they have experienced a variety of styles and techniques.
If you know someone you meets this criteria and would like to try their hand at judging at DERT 2019 then please follow this link to give us all the details.

This form will be used in the selection new judges for the 2019 competition. Please give as much information as you can to help us in this process.
We would like all our judges to be in place as soon as possible so please respond as quickly as you are able.
