What is a Jack & Jill Dance Competition?

A Jack & Jill is a fun and dynamic social dance competition where dancers sign up individually (not as a couple) and are randomly paired with different partners. The focus is on improvisation, musicality, and connection—just like you would experience on a social dance floor.

Unlike choreographed showcases, Jack & Jill competitions are freestyle, meaning dancers must lead and follow in real time without any pre-planned routines.

How It Works

• Sign Up Individually as a Leader or Follower

• Partners are randomly assigned—you won’t know who you’ll dance with!

• Dance to a random song chosen by the DJ

• You may dance with multiple partners during different rounds

• Judges score based on timing, musicality, technique, and connection

• The top dancers move forward—and win prizes!

Judging Criteria Includes:

• Timing (staying on beat)

• Technique & execution

• Partner connection

• Musicality & creativity

• Showmanship in social dancing

Not Allowed:

• No pre-choreographed routines

• No aerial lifts, dangerous tricks, or performance-only moves

• No switching roles of leader/follower (unless explicitly allowed by the event)

Why Join?

• Test your dance skills in a fun, low-pressure setting

• Show off your social dancing style

• Bragging rights and great prizes!

• And most importantly… have fun!
