Jill & Jack Competitions
If you have been working on your skills… gentlemen as a follower and ladies as a leader try your luck.

The number of rounds (and rotations) will be determined by the ( Head Judge or Directors).

Finalists will be randomly paired and will be placed as a couple (not individually). Couples will not rotate or change partners during finals.
