JACK & JILL COMPETITIONS

World Swing Dance Council (WSDC) Jack & Jill divisions

Boogie by the Bay is a WSDC registry event. We offer the following WSDC divisions:

  • Novice Jack & Jill
  • Intermediate Jack & Jill
  • Masters Jack & Jill (age 50+)
  • Advanced Jack & Jill
  • All-Stars Jack & Jill
  • Champions Jack & Jill

Please note:

  • You may enter only one WSDC skill level division (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, All-Stars, or Champions) in your primary role. (If you are 50+ years old, you may also enter the Masters Jack & Jill.)
  • You may also choose to compete in your secondary role one level down. As long as you qualify to compete at that level according to the WSDC points registry, no petition is needed.
  • Per WSDC rules, you may also petition to compete down one or two levels. Please register for your Jack & Jill online, then fill out a WSDC petition form and submit it to andy@boogiebythebay.com. Our competition director, Andy Bouman, will forward your petition to our chief judge for that division to make a decision. Our chief judge will review your petition and approve or deny your request. If your petition is successful, we will notify you and move your Jack & Jill registration to the new level.

Switch-it-Up Jack & Jill

Are you comfortable dancing both roles?  For this competition, you and your partner will be expected to switch roles frequently. Open to all levels. (This is not a WSDC competition, so no points will be awarded.)

Next Generational Jack & Jill (Juniors paired with All-Stars/Champions)

This is a special competition at Boogie by the Bay to support young dancers and encourage them to continue their dance journey. Each Junior who enters will draw a random Champion or All-Star partner. There is no entry fee. (This is not a WSDC competition, so no points will be awarded.)
