JACK & JILL COMPETITIONS:
Dancers will enter this contest as an individual leader or follower. Leaders must be male and followers female. Partners are then randomly paired, and will dance to music selected by the DJ. During the preliminary rounds, partners will rotate more than once. The number of rounds (and rotations) will be determined by the contest staff. Leaders and followers will be selected to advance to finals individually, but will be judged on how well they dance with their partner. Finalists will be randomly paired and will be placed as a couple, not individually. Couples will not rotate or change partners during finals.
