▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▶ Registration: https://bit.ly/Tickets-CLBWNE23 ◀ ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ WELCOME to the Social Jack & Jill Competition at Crazy Lion Bachata Weekend happening 13-15th October 2023! Our Social Dance Competition will be in a Jack and Jill format where every participant competes individually. That means that you don’t need to join with a partner, as dancers will be matched up randomly and everyone will be evaluated individually and not as a couple. It is an excellent opportunity to showcase your skills and creativity. But the most important thing is that you will have fun and challenge yourself! :) ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▶ REGISTRATION ◀ ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ We will have 1 category of competition: ✦ Improver / Intermediate Category ✦ ✪ You have danced atleast 6 months and feel confident as a Bachata dancer, but you're not a professional ✪ No teachers are allowed in Improver/Intermediate level (only Pro Category) ✪ For Improver/Intermediate Category participation is 10€. ✦ The competition is limited to 15 couples ( 15 leaders + 15 followers ) ✦ Minimum number of participants is 5 couples to make the competition! ▶ Register here: https://bit.ly/Tickets-CLBWNE23 ◀ ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▶ THE PRIZES ◀ ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ✦ Improver / Intermediate Category ✦ ✪ You have danced atleast 6 months and feel confident as a Bachata dancer, but you're not a professional 🏆 PRIZES 🏆 ✪ 1st Leader & Follower: 50€ cash prize + 1 Fullpass for an upcoming Crazy Lion Event + 1 Fullpass to Terra Livre Festival + 1 Fullpass to Bindaas Bachata Social Dance Festival ✪ 2nd Leader & Follower: 1 Fullpass for an upcoming Crazy Lion Event ✪ 3rd Leader & Follower: 1 Party pass for an upcoming Crazy Lion Event ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▶ JUDGING CRITERIA ◀ ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ 1) TECHNIQUE: in bachata elements, cleanliness, styling 2) MUSICALITY: matching the style of the music (Sensual, Fusion, Dominican).
