RULES AND REQUIREMENT
✔️ For all competitors:
-
Hold a Pass to Munich Bachata Fest 2025.
- Random Pairings:
Unlike traditional dance competitions where dancers often compete with a chosen partner, Jack & Jill competitions involve random pairings. Dancers are paired up with different partners through a random draw, which can occur before each round of dancing. - Spontaneity and Improvisation:
The format emphasizes the dancers’ ability to adapt and improvise with different partners and to different music. This tests their skills in leading and following, musicality, and overall dance versatility. - Multiple Rounds:
Competitions often have multiple rounds, starting with preliminaries and moving to semi-finals and finals. Dancers are judged individually in the early rounds, and only in the final rounds might they be judged as a couple. - Music Variety:
The music for Jack & Jill competitions is typically chosen by the organizers or DJs and covers a range of tempos and different Bachata styles adding to the challenge for the dancers to showcase their adaptability. - Judging Criteria:
All Judges are looking for qualities such as timing, technique, connection with the partner, musical interpretation, and overall presentation. The ability to connect well with a randomly assigned partner is particularly important. - Community and Fun:
While competitive, Jack & Jill competitions are also known for their fun, community-oriented atmosphere. They encourage social interaction and are often a highlight at dance events and festivals.
