  • As a dance adjudicator of over 25 years I can honestly say that Shine Dance Festival is one of my favorite companies to work for. Tamara and her entire staff take such pride in running a family event that fosters a caring, supportive environment for the dancers, dance teachers, choreographers, and studio owners. Having had access to what goes on behind the scenes, I am always so proud to say that I work for a company that values the highest level of integrity.
