Jack and Jills

Everything is bigger in Texas - including our Jack and Jill contest. We have 3 levels: Newcomer, Intermediate, and Advanced. That way everyone gets a chance to dance with / compete against similar type competitors!

Jack and Jills are extremely fun contests where you do not need a partner. You enter as an individual and are judged as an individual for prelims. You will be rotated and dance with multiple people to multiple songs. It's a great way to meet new people and have fun competing. If you make the finals, you will be paired up with one of the other finalists and be judged as a couple. If you have never competed before, our Newcomer division is for you!

Strictlys

Strictlys are social competitions where you do know your partner, but won't know what music will be played. Ask a friend to compete in Blues, Lindy, or Fast Lindy!

Solo Charleston

Don't wanna do the partnered thing all night? Wanna rock it out with some awesome Charleston? Well, this contest is for you!

Levels

The Jack and Jill contest is split into 3 divisions: Newcomer, Intermediate, and Advanced.

The Newcomer division is for dancers who have never competed in a Jack and Jill competition or potentially have danced in 1 or 2 Jack and Jills but have never made finals.

The Intermediate division is for dancers who have competed in at least a few Jack and Jills and/or other types of competitions - potentially even at national competitions. Note that if you have won a novice competition you must dance in this division.

The Advanced division is for dancers who have competed at many national events - you know who you are.

Strictlys and the Solo Charleston are all levels!

Tip: It is common to want to place yourself in as high a level as possible. Note that the level here refers to your competition experience, not the length of time you've been dancing - as competition experience is a different type of experience.
