Special trophies & passes to awesome swing dance events around the UK! PLUS you will be adored, revered & rewarded both by the crowd & as a DJam Champion: a status afforded to very few!

Wanted

Dancers of all levels are invited to take part: Buzzed up Beginners with attitude, Intermediates who are in the mood, or awesomely Advanced. Want to show us how it’s done?

Come and strut your stuff but be warned the ceilings are low, so NO aerials, please!


Category 1: Jack and Jill ‘Newbie’ Lindy

If you've been dancing for less than one year and want to give competing a go, this category is for you! You'll be assigned a partner at random & as you progress through the rounds you'll have a new partner each time until the judges crown two of you the Newbie Champs! Exciting!
 

 Category 2: Solo Spotlight

If you like to move it solo style, show us what you've got! Authentic Jazz, Blues, Charleston, bring them all on! Any dance style featured at DJam is allowed.

Category 3: Jack and Jill Lindy

Dancing Lindy over a year and want to mix it up with the best of the bunch here at DJam? Register for this solo and you'll be assigned a random partner in each round until only the King and Queen of Lindy are left standing!
