We’re excited to welcome Emma Kate Putnam as our adjudicator for this year’s Medal Test! 🙌🏼✨

Originally born in London and raised in Aotearoa, Emma has spent more than a decade working professionally as a dancer, performer, teacher, examiner, and adjudicator 💃🏼 Her career has taken her around the world, including training and performing in Auckland, New York, Los Angeles, and beyond 🌍

Emma brings a wealth of experience across many dance styles, including jazz, hip hop, ballet, contemporary, musical theatre, house, locking, and samba 🔥 Alongside her performance career, she has judged competitions throughout New Zealand and Australia, examined dancers for recognised syllabi, and taught workshops nationwide 🪩

Known for her encouraging and constructive approach, Emma is passionate about helping dancers grow in both technique and performance quality ⭐️ She values authentic storytelling, musicality, and confidence, and loves supporting young dancers as they develop their skills and find their own artistic voice 🌈

We’re thrilled to have Emma joining us and know our dancers will gain so much from her feedback and expertise throughout the Medal Test weekend 💜

We hope you’re having the most beautiful day celebrating you 🌸
