The Christchurch Modern Jive Championships is one of the most popular Modern Jive competitions in Australasia with over 200 competitors regularly attending.
We're looking forward to welcoming you to our new venue for 2019: Papa Hou at the Central YMCA, 12 Hereford St, Christchurch.
We're very excited to continue with the 3 day format, however there's no need to attend all three days in order to attend or compete.
We look forward to seeing you in next March!
Regards,
Deb, Matt, Becky and the rest of the Champs Team.
An Event to Remember
What you'll remember is not how many categories you entered but how you felt.
- Friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
- Great variety of music.
- Fanatical attention to detail.
If you're aiming to survive the whole weekend, give yourself a day off on Monday, take time to recover and savour the amazing time you will have had.
If you're visiting take the time to have a look around on the Monday and see how our new city is taking shape or visit some of the many attractions we have here.
