About this Event
West Coast Swing Jack&Jill competitions are competitions with improvised dances with a random partner and a random song. Do you know what judges are looking for? Do you know what they really mean with the 3 T's (Timing, Technique, Teamwork) ? How to work on then? And how to get your nerves together?
As an Advanced level dancer I have been there!!
I have been competing in West Coast Swing since 2017 (from Newcomer till Advanced), I took Judges training from Robert Royston and Chuck Brown, and judged several WSDC and non-WSDC events. I am also a certified West Coast Swing teacher in the Swing Literacy method and followed several teacher intensives and trainings over the last 5 years. I know what judges are looking for, what the 3T's actually mean and how you can train them efficiently.
Topics that we will work on:
π·οΈ What are judges looking for in Newcomer/Novice
π· How to survive a partner that is missing skills
π· Which competition skills to prioritize first
π· How can you prepare yourself
π· Mock Jack&Jill
