The Jack & Jill competitions will have the following devitions; Newcomer, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced , All Star and Sophisticated division. WSDC points will be granted based on the number of competitors in each division. Jack & Jill competitions allow individuals to enter without a partner and demonstrate skills in spontaneous dancing with a variety of partners. Leaders and followers are randomly paired. There will be several partner changes during the preliminary and semi-final rounds. Competitors are scored individually on timing, technique and teamwork.
