Leading and following are tracked separately on the MJPI though most competitors tend to stick to one role.
Primary Role
This is the role you're most comfortable dancing and is usually the one you first join the MJPI with.
Secondary Role
This is your other role that you may be aiming to develop.
What Level Am I?
When you join you are given a starting level based on your competition and Modern Jive experience.
Competition Experience
Take into account your level according to any current competition experience bearing in mind:
- Your highest level of competing at your own level (i.e. not dancing up because of your partner)
- Where categories were not a straight final and had at least 6 entries
Modern Jive Experience
Please consider:
- How long you have been growing as a dancer - this is different from how long you have been dancing
- The level of classes and workshops that you have attended
