One of my favorite jobs that falls under my dance career umbrella is Judging. Judging for @ampdancecompetition is something that brings me so much joy and is a role I feel like I truly thrive in. And working for a team that feels like family makes the long weekends and endless traveling worth it all in the end.
Plus it’s the only dance job I get to dress up for hahaha So without further ado…I give you my judging fits for the 2024 season hahaha
Make sure to check out @ampdancecompetition for the 2025 season!!!
✈️ This competition season included 16 flights (8 round-trips) for a total of 13,739 flight miles. Certainly not my most, but definitely enough! That included 3 weekends as a competition judge + 4 weekends as an event assistant director + 1 weekend as an event director! 🖤 This was my most versatile travel season & my most enjoyable. I’m so glad to have options in this career of dance that I am passionate about! Grateful to these amazing competitions that grow with this industry & provide so much for dancers! #Melanie5678
Someone pinch Heidi 🤌🏽🤏🏽 On cloud 9! So thankful for every experience with classes, teachers, conventions, master classes, dance competitions and just any opportunity to just watch her learn, have fun and be creative with this art.

Just like that, regionals are over! I am so proud of my girls for working so hard this season and for always being eager to learn and grow 🥺🫶🏼! Now we just have to prepare for Nationals! I'm so proud of everyone this season and I'm ready for the next season!

The end of the @ampdancecompetition season is always bitter sweet! The weekends are long and exhausting but I feel so thankful to work for a company that is making a difference in the dance community! I love getting to witness each season how much AMP truly cheers kids on and makes them feel like they are unstoppable!
If you haven’t been to AMP yet what are you doing??? Hope to see you at one of our cities next season 🩷💜
