Judges Association of Minnesota Dance Teams

JAM members have a variety of dance backgrounds including high school dance team, studio, college dance team, professional cheer and dance, instruction, choreography and more. With over 100 members from all corners of the state, we are ready to serve you and your competition.

Required Annual Training

JAM ensures that your scheduled officiating panel are well-educated and knowledgeable professionals. We train our members on a wide variety of subjects and spend the majority of our training day dissecting the score sheet and its 80+ elements.

Tabulation Training

At our annual training, we work in small groups to teach the manual and electronic tabulation process. You can be confident that our members are prepared to tabulate results from small quad meets to large dual-sided invitationals.

Current Minnesota Routines Used for Training

JAM uses only current MSHSL dance team routines in our training. We review several hours worth of video and breakdown clips to hone in score sheet categories such as choreography and difficulty, execution and technique.
