What People Are Saying About Dani Zink
“I am the Dance Teacher of one of the school groups who competed at the Ipswich Junior Eisteddfod this week. I have been taking school groups to eisteddfods for 13 years, and I have to say that you are the best adjudicator I have ever encountered. You are encouraging, fair and honest, and you provide really helpful and clear feedback. I love your positivity and bravery in speaking your mind and providing unbiased comments. The thing I am most grateful for is how you spoke up about the importance of age-appropriate choreography, costuming and music. I applaud you for your bravery in speaking up to protect the innocence of our young people. You are amazing.”
