Whatever your dancing ability, from beginner to champions level, there's a category for you at the 2010 NSW Ceroc Modern Jive Championships, this year also including NEW West Coast Swing categories!
Even if you don't have a partner, you can participate in the Dance With A Stranger and Jack n Jill categories, where you rotate to different partners during the heat and then get matched with one partner for the finals.
And if you do have a partner, it's time to start thinking about practising your freestyle, or even choreographing your own routine for the Showcase, Team or West Coast Swing Cabaret events. Look out for our Modern Jive Musicality and our Style & Performance Workshops coming up in January and May to help you prepare!
And for spectators, it's a spectacular event! Read on below for more details on how to register as a competitor or get a spectator ticket. Please note this year, tickets will not be allocated seating, so arrive on time to get the best spots!
