Some of you beginners may ask "What is a Jack and Jill Contest?"  


A Jack and Jill Contest is where each of the follows and leads line up and in two lines and face each other.  A number is called, and the follows (or leads) will move down the line that many people.  You take that partner onto the dance floor and dance to a song.  Then you all line up again,  move to a new partner and dance to another song.  It is a lot of fun, and you can learn so much about yourself as a lead or follow in those few short minutes.  What you take away from the experience cannot be taught, it is something you feel.  It's not if you win or place, it is learning more about yourself as a dancer and HAVING FUN! 


Hope to see all you enter this contest!
