Books for real situations

Understand differently.
Prepare differently.
Act differently.

Practical perspectives on judging and performance in dance.

Two English-language books, each extended by a specialised Assistant designed to help readers explore their own situations rather than apply ready-made answers.

Choose the situation that concerns you. The detailed book pages do the rest.

Books that continue after the last page

The English editions are extended by specialised Assistants, while the judging universe also opens onto a progressive collection.

Included with the books

Ask your own questions to an Assistant

The Judge’s Assistant and the Competitor Assistant help readers connect the ideas in the books with situations they have actually experienced. Both are multilingual and are designed as extensions of the books rather than stand-alone products.

Progressive collection

Developing the Judge’s Eye

A 36-volume collection designed to deepen judging practice over time. The English edition is planned; the page presents the structure and approach of the collection.

Two areas, two ways in

The English site currently presents the titles already available in English. Additional publications may be added later.

Cover of Judging in Dance

Judging and understanding judgement

What if judging better began with understanding what our attention selects… and what it leaves out?

Judging in Dance explores the human mechanisms involved when we observe, compare and decide.

For adjudicators, dancers, coaches, teachers and trainers.

Included with the bookJudge’s Assistant — a multilingual extension for exploring personal judging situations.
Cover of When the Unexpected Takes the Floor

Mental preparation and competition

You step onto the floor with your choreography and your certainties. The unexpected steps onto the floor too.

When the Unexpected Takes the Floor helps competitors understand what changes when competition no longer resembles training — and prepare ways of responding.

For competitors, couples, coaches and teachers.

Included with the bookCompetitor Assistant — to analyse situations, ask questions and explore personal strategies to test.
