Rules Judging FAQs

We have a wide range of categories for you to enjoy. Some categories are divided into different levels to give more people a chance to make finals and perhaps gain a placing.

With or without a partner

We have two categories where you don't need one.

Alternatively use our unique Find a Partner feature when you register to see who else is looking for a partner.

Levels

Most categories are split into levels so dancers get more chances to progress through the competition.

A dancer's level is set by the Modern Jive Points Index (MJPI). See the section lower down the page for more information.

Levels 1 - 4

You enter at your own level (or that of your partner if their level is higher).

Combined Levels

The sum of the levels of each partner determines if a couple enters intermediate or advanced.

2 - 4: Intermediate

5 - 8: Advanced

3 - 6: Intermediate

7 - 12: Advanced

Lucky Dip

Lucky dip is split into three groups where dancers of different levels can end up dancing together. See the category for more information.
