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.
