COMPETITIONS
JACK N JILL (WSDC)
- The Jack’n Jill is a dance competition like in the USA where the emphasis is on social dancing.
- The principle is that couples are formed randomly by drawing lots and dance on music that they do not know in advance.
- During the prelims: At each change of music (3 or 4) You will dance on 3 or 4 songs. For each new song, the couples change. The dancers are judged separately.
- During the final: After a first draw, the couples do not change and the couple is judged as a whole.
- Judging Criteria: The judgment will be based on technique, musicality but above all the interaction between partners.
- Costumes and accessories are not allowed, but proper attire is recommended.
