LEC Social Dance Comp (Jack & Jill)

La Encantada Co is proudly creating more social dancers for Melbourne and Australia's Salsa & Bachata dance scene. To encourage even more practice, we invite you to join us for a friendly Social Dance Competition (Jack & Jill) held at our studios on Saturday 2nd April. You must be an LEC student to enter the competition, but anyone can come and watch. WHAT IS A JACK & JILL COMPETITION? The premise of a Jack & Jill is a friendly and social approach to freestyle competitive dancing. It is a 100% freestyle competition with dancers partnered up at random. This means that you don’t need to have a partner to enter a J&J competition, as leaders and followers each enter separately. This improv-based competition can be extremely entertaining as dancers try to coordinate dancing with this new partner while dancing to the specifics of a random song and expressing musicality. THERE WILL BE FOUR SECTIONS TO THE NIGHT: - Jack & Jill Heats (Salsa & Bachata) - Jack & Jill Finals (Salsa & Bachata) - Presentation of Awards - Social Dancing to finish the night (Salsa & Bachata) JUDGES ARE LOOKING FOR: Connection Musicality Timing Entertainment Sabor RULES: You will dance three times in the heats with randomly selected partners.
