🥰 Newcomer Lindy Hop Mix & Match 🥰
Our Newcomer Mix & Match is a competition where you are paired with other random dancers, and you're judged on your social dancing. Based on the Jack & Jill contest created by legendary Swing Dancer, Jack Carey. This competition is intended for dancers that have never competed in a contest or dancers that have never placed in a major contest.
• Prelims: 4/17 • 9:45 pm: Couples will dance with a randomly paired partner in heats with 3 songs per heat. Followed by an all-skate.
• Finals: 4/17 • 10:45 pm: Finalists will be randomly paired with a partner and judged as a couple. Finalists will dance one song warm-up, followed by spotlights for each couple, and then one final all-skate. Mikey will be there to help you count and guide traffic.
• Entry Fee: $20 Per Couple
