Modern Jive has been in New Zealand (and Australia) for over 25 years and so we have a category for some of the older dancers to compete against each other.
You must stick to your role - lead or follow - for the duration of the dance.
40+ (for competitors aged 40 and over)
- Both competitors in a 40 and Over couple must be 40 years old or older on the day of the competition
We have two levels based on the sum of the levels of the competitors,
- Intermediate: sum range is 2 - 4
- Advanced: sum range is 5 - 8
For example, in the lower group a Level 3 competitor can dance with a Level 1. Level 4 dancers have to dance in the upper group.
Remember - simpler moves done well is better than complex moves done not so well 😉
