Contest Prelims

Info: The Boulder Swing Break and Shake will feature two divisions of mix-and-match competitions, contests that pair dancers with random partners for a chance to showcase their social dancing skills.

Cash prizes will be awarded for first- ($100/dancer), second- ($50) and third-place ($25) results.

Entry to each contest is $10. A competitor may not dance in the same role in both events.
