JUDGING HIP HOP IN 2026

Judging Hip Hop in 2026.png

The annual "Judging Hip Hop" webinar is officially the next training coming to you this holiday season.  Each year, I host a webinar that is totally focused on what we should all be expecting from adjudication at a dance competition. In an effort to collectively raise the standards and maintain correct definitions for Hip Hop, this sort of training  is made for judges and choreographers alike!  Let's break down what's being covered in this one:

​

Core Techniques

An overview of the most important movement within Hip Hop, Breaking, and Funk styles. What they look like. How they're supposed to present themselves. 

​

Common Misconceptions

This is the highlight of the judges trainings.  An ever-expanding overview of the most common mistakes judges are making when they  are guessing or filling in the blanks on a style they are unfamiliar with.

​

Vocabulary & Language

The words you should know, and how they should be discussed and understood when critiquing a routine.

​

...and more!

​

There are always new ideas to discuss, questions to be asked, and topics to cover. Sign up by filling out the form below.

        We were able to host John recently in our studio for two student workshops divided by ages, an adult class and a teacher training. I had followed him on social media and had always been impressed by his level of knowledge and passion to teach REAL hip hop. We were blown away by his knowledge once we met him in person and his training-in addition to his curriculum-has shaped our hip hop program in our studio! I highly recommend using John as a resource however you can, whether it is his curriculum or a live session. He is truly one of the best out there!

        I had John out to my studio over the summer for teacher training. I am so glad that I had more than just my hip hop teachers in the room as his tips, exercises and approaches can be used in all genres. They are true teaching tools. John gives a true foundation and education on hip hop culture and brings you back to where it comes from and the why. His personality is infectious and his passion for not only his art  but educating others is evident. He has made himself available  to be a mentor to one of my newer staff members and we have purchased his curriculum for our studio. I can't say enough about him except he is the real deal.

     John Comix Barrella has visited our studio three times since 2018 and he has inspired, educated and infused excitement into our hip hop programs.  Not only does he deliver memorable and current class work, he is authentic.  He studies so he can share and inspire with so much knowledge.  Our hip hop instructor uses his teaching material to continue to develop a strong and growing program at our studio.  After year one, our dancers looked forward to learning new styles that were presented with so much detail that they could retain the information and build on John's workshop visit throughout the season.
