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.

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.

Please refer to the general section on judging criteria.
