The Christchurch Modern Jive Championships (or Chch Champs) is one of the most popular Modern Jive competitions in Australasia with usually over 150 people attending.

We're looking forward to welcoming you back to the Central YMCA with our 3 day format (there's no need to attend all three days in order to attend or compete).

• Friendly, welcoming atmosphere
• Great variety of music
• Fanatical attention to detail
• Bean bags

The 2023 Champs are being held on the weekend before ANZAC Day (Tuesday 25 April).

Spectators and social dancers are welcome throughout the weekend.

Tickets are available on the door (EFTPOS available - sorry no credit cards). There is social dancing throughout the weekend between competition events.

If you're visiting from out of town or even if you're local and want time to recover then we encourage you to maybe include our Champs as part of a mini break or holiday.

Take a day off either before or after - or even both - and see what is on offer in Christchurch and the surrounding area.

The Christchurch Marathon is the week before Champs and we know of dancers aiming to come to Christchurch for both events!
