No problem! We offer two ways to help you find a partner:
There will be two competitions: one for Ballroom – Slow Waltz, Tango and Quickstep – and one for Latin – Cha cha cha, Rumba and Jive. You can choose to sign up for either one or both competitions.
You start each competition with a qualitifaction round. Based on the level of performance, the jury will divide all couples over 3 or 4 categories. The first round after qualification, you will compete with other couples in your categorie.
All couples dance the first round of their categorie. The best couples will be placed through to the next round. The other couples will get a second chance in the redance (so you always dance at least twice in your categorie).
After the redance, the best couples will move through each next round, until they compete for the best rankings in the finals. The final results will then be announced at the award ceremony.
Did you drop out of Ballroom early? Then you won’t have to wait for long, for you can try again in the Latin.
The organisation will always have the final decision.
