NYPA Adjudicators
Dual Adjudicators were first appointed in 2016 for both the Tap Dance and Ballet sections. This continued in 2017 with dual Adjudicators for the Modern Dance section. The Dual Adjudicator system has worked so well that the decision was made to continue offering dual Adjudicators for the ever growing dance genres of Modern, Ballet and Tap Dance sections.
For the MEGA NYPA PLUS 2022 the decision was also made to add an additional level of transparency for the three dance genres of Ballet, Tap Dance and Modern Dance, we were excited to announce that those genres would have THREE adjudicators per genre instead of the usual TWO adjudicators.
So in 2023, we will continue to have THREE adjudicators for the large Modern Dance section, as well as solo adjudicators for the Instrumental, Speech and Drama and the exciting new MUSICAL THEATRE SECTION.
The Troupe/Group section was re-introduced in 2016 as part of the 40th Anniversary Celebrations. This section was so popular that it was decided to continue offering this award for the foreseeable future.
In 2023, the 3 Modern Dance and the Musical Theatre Adjudicators will form the base of the Troupe/Group judging panel and will be joined by additional Adjudicators to cover all the necessary dance genres.
