£10 on the door
£5 per person Jack & Jill entry (you must pre-book to enter)
You’re all invited…oh and bring your friends!
About the Jack & Jill:
This is a relaxed comp with the main focus on fun and socializing. The idea is that you enter alone and will be drawn to dance with random partner/partners to a track/tracks chosen by the organizer.
The only rule is that you must be dancing social West Coast Swing. The judges will be looking for good basic footwork and technique, and partnership skills. Merit will be given for confidence and musical interpretation.
There are no dress rules although smart appearance would be appreciated. Come on guys and girls, break out the sparkles!
The music will be defined as Slow and Fast (not that fast, I promise). You will rotate partners at least once. There will be Prelims (All), Semi-Finals (Approx. Half) and Finals (5 Couples).
To register, please email Cat at cat@westcoastswing.co.uk or call 07881 641400. You will receive a confirmation email prior to the comp and £5 cash payment per person will be due on the night.
Good luck to all and remember above all else to have fun! Bring your friends for support. Everyone is welcome.
