--- FUN JACK & JILL COMPETITION ---
A Jack & Jill (J&J) is the most common type of competition in West Coast Swing, and was designed to simulate a social dance where the dancers may not necessarily know each other or the song.
At WCS Day, there will be a friendly “high-low” J&J, which is a J&J where a lower and higher level dancer are paired together so each randomly matched pair has a more equal chance of winning some of the awesome prizes! This is a fun J&J, which means no WSDC points are awarded. All levels welcome, including newcomers—this kind of competition is the best for your first competition!
There is no competition fee to join this fun J&J. To join, simply go to the Registration Desk to pick up a bib number. Make sure you’re back in the venue ready to dance by 20:30!
