Jack & Jill Dance Competition

SATURDAY 6TH & Sunday 7TH APRIL, 2024

Who's will be name Australia's best social dancer? As part of Rumbia Festival we will be hosting a Jack & Jill Social Dancing Competition on Saturday & Sunday afternoon.

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.
