KickStart Instructor Training Program

The score sheet is only part of the story. Join us for a FREE Judges Training Virtual Huddle with Russ Bradchulis (Russ Bradchulis) and get a closer look at how performances are evaluated.

📅 September 28, 2026
⏰ 8:00 PM CT

This is your chance to step into the judge’s perspective, understand what makes a performance stand out, and learn how the different pieces come together.

We’ll explore:
✨ Technique
⏱️ Timing
🎶 Content
🔥 Showmanship
🤝 Connection

Whether you’re competing, teaching, choreographing, judging, or simply want to become a more knowledgeable dancer, there’s something here for you.

👇 Comment “Check” and we’ll send you the FREE Competition Review Kit!

Your face. Your arms. That one step you missed. What everyone else was doing.

But here’s the thing: that’s not necessarily what the judges were looking at.

We created the Competition Review Kit to help you take the emotion out of reviewing your rounds and start looking at your dancing with a more trained eye. 🤠

Inside, you’ll get tools to help you understand what to actually look for, where you may be losing points, and what to work on before your next competition.

Because watching your video 27 times isn’t the same as knowing how to review it. 😉

Comment CHECK and we’ll send it your way! 🤠
