Are you an amateur? Guidelines to help you decide.
How will the competition work?
There will be a competition for two step and for country swing.
You bring your own partner of your choice! At 9:30 we will put on a two-step song. All couples wishing to compete will start dancing on the dance floor. The judges will tap couples on the shoulder one by one to tell the couple they are OUT and they will leave the dance floor. The last couple on the dance floor is the winner! Following the TWO STEP, we will do the same thing with COUNTRY SWING. We hope this format will be fun and will minimize down time for competitors and spectators!
