ADJUDICATION WITH MATT WESLEY
As an adjudicator, Matt brings West End standards into the room in a way that feels supportive, fair, and genuinely useful for dancers, teachers, and organisers.
Matt’s feedback is clear and actionable. He looks for performance quality, musicality, technique, storytelling, and professionalism, while always recognising what each dancer is aiming for. Whether it’s a first-time competitor or a seasoned performer, his goal is the same: leave dancers feeling encouraged, motivated, and better informed about how to level up.
REVIEWS
"We have been fortunate enough to have Matthew adjudicate our competition twice and on both occasions he has shared his knowledge with the students while still inspiring and encouraging them. I can not recommend Matthew enough as an adjudicator and educator within performing arts! Also if you are a competition that can do professional workshops, you must get him to do a jazz one! 10/10"
