RULES, REGULATIONS, AND REGISTRATION INFO
read carefully...or I'll kick you in the shins
1. Each City/Team must consist of atleast 3 couples in which atleast one couple must compete in one of the three divisions.
2. Each team must have atleast 3 men and 3 ladies on their team
3. The whole team must pay a competition fee of $40 for the whole team. If more than 6 people in the team, it will be a flat $50. This money is to go for the prizes and other essentials for the competition.
4. All teams MUST register before March 27/2005 to be eligible to compete. I'm going to be strict about that this year. Last minute teams can bite me.
5. Last but not least, if you're in this competition to just win and not have fun, then don't even come out to compete. Judges are looking for fun competitors and not whiney dancers. (*I will stab you!!!*) Winning is fun...having fun getting last...priceless.
Couple will dance to a song of their choice which must be considered swing music (ie. music from 1930's-50's...no disco). Don't make this trivial. Does not have to be choreographed, but it would help. Aerials, tricks, dips, chains, whips are all allowed. Maximum time of song: 3min.
Couples will dance to music that we provide and as they dance, I will call out a "Style" of dance. It can be Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, West Coast, Hustle, Carolina Shag, Blues.....whatever I call out. Hell, I can even say "Hollywood Style Lindy" or "St.Louis Blues". If you don't know how to do it, FAKE IT! Do the best you can and be funny about it. Judges are goin' to judge on how well you can do, adapt, or fake these styles and seriously have fun with it. Just entertain the judges and the crowd and I'm sure you'll do fine.
Song(s) will range in speed, but don't worry, I'll be kind...kind of crazy. hehehe
This comp is for a couple or a group of people from a team. They will dance to a song of their choice that is NOT considered a swing song but must be danced with swing movements. There will be a 60% recognizable swing requirement 'cus, well, it's still a swing event...and it's MY event. Nah-na-na-naaah-nah! Maximum time of song: 3 min. No restrictions.
Each team or team leader must email me the following:
1. Team Name and Leader. I need email and phone number for contact purposes.
2. Names of each couple and what division they are dancing in. If there are more than 2 people dancing in the Just Dance It division, make sure to write EVERYONE'S name.
I need to collect the $40 from each Team when the teams all meet that nite at the event. If there are more than 6 people in your whole team, the cost will be a flat $50, just to compensate prizes. I will only contact the Team Leader with all the information, so make sure your leader is reliable. Team registration will end a week before the competition. My email is [email protected] .
