Lindy Hop MIX & MATCH / OPEN
Registration / ONLINE HERE
Check-in / FRIDAY (21:00-22:00) @ Autoklub
Prelims / SATURDAY (17:00) @ Autoklub
Finals / SATURDAY (22:45) @ Autoklub
This format of competition can also be found under names "Jack&Jill", "Luck of the draw", "Draw" or other.
No matter what the name is, this format means that leaders and followers sign up separately (not as couple) and they social dance with random partners.
In PRELIMS leaders and followers will line up according to their numbers (they get the numbers at check-in) and rotate random number of partners.
There are 3 rounds / songs in prelims (slow, middle, fast tempo). Partners are changing after each song. Leaders and followers are judged separately.
There might be 2-3 heats of prelims if there are too many dancers for just one heat.
There are 6 leaders and 6 followers chosen from prelims to finals.
In FINALS partners will rotate only once and they remain with that partner until the end of finals and are judged as couple.
In this competition you may dance with someone you never danced with before. And here comes the magic of lead and follow. Show your ability to dance with anyone, your creativity and musicality. We cant wait to see you nail it on the dance floor!
Leaders and followers are not limited to be male or female in this or that role.
Do your best to make sure you and your partner shine. That is what we want to see <3

This will be a social competition open to all dancers, and we expect the most advanced dancers of the festival to attend.
You register as a couple to enter the preliminaries.
The judges will choose a small selection of dancers to dance in the final.
Short choreographed sequences and air-steps are allowed, but judges will only be impressed if these are done with rhythm and flow.
You will be judged on technique, musicality, and partnership within the couple. The format of the finals will be spotlights.
