Located on the UW campus, the HUB Ballroom is just a couple of buildings down from Kane Hall. So, after the Jump Session Show, walk over to the HUB for a fun-filled evening of dancing. The HUB Ballroom is a very large space with a fabulous dance floor. Enjoy watching the Jack & Jill Finals and the Lindy Hop Couples Prelims (or be a participant!) and dance the night away to live music.
This contest will be a strictly lindy hop contest for couples. Prelims will be danced in heats to multiple songs and tempos. Finals will be a combination of dancing in heats and jam format.
This is an open Jack & Jill which means everyone is invited to compete. There will be multiple heats where dancers will rotate between three different dancers for a medium song, a slow song and a fast song. You will be judged as an individual in the prelims and as a couple during the finals. The finals will be jam style format as well as an all skate with a set partner chosen randomly.
