discipline.
The Interpretive evaluator qualification is totally separate from Interpretive judging at competitions. It is
obtained after you have your Senior Bronze test level in Free Skate/ Skills or Dance. Being a Gold
evaluator in Skills/Free Skate/Dance does not automatically give you Gold qualifications for Interpretive
evaluating. You have to complete the Interpretive workbook.

I WANT TO GET MY JUVENILE DANCE PROMOTION - WHAT DO I DO?
Please remember, being a judge does not automatically make you an evaluator. A judge judges events at
competitions. An evaluator evaluates tests at test days. The two require quite different training. It is
recommended, but not mandatory, that both of these parts be completed before you proceed to the
Juvenile Singles promotion. To obtain information on becoming an evaluator, go to www.skatinginbc.com
and click on Officials/Become a Judge and Evaluator.
The Juvenile Judge
For Juvenile Singles/Pairs/Dance: Each discipline is separate. Your clinic will be combined. You may apply
for a promotion to all disciplines at once or apply for each one separately.
This workbook will cover the Juvenile Dance discipline.
What does being a Juvenile Dance level judge mean? Once you have received your promotion to the
Juvenile level, it means that you can judge events up to and including the Juvenile level – Juvenile Pattern
Dances and Juvenile Free Dances.
Clinics are good for 2 years. Please list the date, location and moderator for your clinic on page 3.
Requirements for Promotion
To receive your Juvenile Dance and/or Pairs promotions, you must complete the following tasks:
 Attend a Juvenile Singles/Pairs/Dance clinic.
 Obtain 80% or better on the element identification portion of the clinic if applicable.
 Complete the SKATE CANADA JUVENILE DANCE written examination.
 Submit at least two satisfactory Trial Judge reports on Juvenile DANCE events (one must be a Free
Dance)
For Pairs and Dance, this may include a SUPERVISED Juvenile video event from a clinic plus one other trial
judged event.
For candidates that successfully complete the first requirement for Juvenile Dance and Pairs promotions,
the clinic leader may recommend promotion to the Primary Pairs and Dance level.

Promotion Summary Form:
Please fill in ALL the events that you have trial judged, not just the events you are submitting reports for.
We want to see all of your experience.
1. You need to attend competitions to trial judge events at the Juvenile Level. You should have two Trial
Judge reports for Juvenile Dance. One of these reports must be a Free Dance. You can record any
additional events on your Record of Trial Judging form, but you do not need to get reports for the
events.
For Trial Judge reports, the following documentation must be included:
-
For trial judging, please include starting order, officials list, detailed skater classifications and
satisfactory Trial Judge reports.
-
For Trial Judge reports, please use the 6 page Trial Judge report that includes a self-assessment. This
will be printed off from the Data Specialist. Write down your GOE’s and PC scores on the skater’s
detailed report card for each skater.
- Please include a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope if you want your package mailed back to you.
Please make sure that the overall rating for your report is at minimum satisfactory. Do not include reports
that indicate that you require more experience or have a significant weakness in a particular area.
Remember – if you would like a completed report to count towards your promotion, be sure to speak to the
Referee before an event, to request that they fill out a report for you.
2. Be sure to keep copies of your events for yourself.
3. Complete the Skate Canada Juvenile Dance exam.
Exams: Before you complete the written exam, please check that you have the most current version of the
exam.
Methods of Submitting: Mailing or scanning documents is acceptable. If mailing your package, please
include the appropriate amount of postage. If scanning your package, scan each page at a low resolution
and either email it or burn your package onto a CD or USB stick and mail it. Emailed packages are easier,
quicker and more cost effective to process. Please only include the necessary documents for your
application.
Questions? Please email Amie Garras at adgarras@hotmail.com
4. Verify all parts of workbook are completed. If you have been unable to trial judge Dance events,
contact your Juvenile Promotions Coordinator to see if video events are available.
5. Complete the Juvenile Dance Promotion Checklist sheet ensuring all parts are completed as necessary.
6. Photocopy your workbooks for your records, in case they should be lost in the mail. Forward the entire
workbook to your Primary/ Juvenile Promotion Coordinator to apply for your promotion.
