This is our version of an "All American High Low Jack and Jill Hybrid", but more magical! Matched up at random with almost any Level of dancer. With the exception that we will pull aside our invitational level dancers and they will go straight to finals. Everyone in prelims will be judged like it's a normal Open Jack and Jill, as an individual. But when you get to finals, you'll be drawing a Champ/Allstar Invitational Dancer! This is what WCS is all about! Show the judges you have the skills to lead and follow on time and get rewarded by pulling a dream draw in finals! Wear unicorn themed anything if you have it! Or dress like a YOU-Nicorn! DANCE YOU, BE YOU, EXPRESS YOU!
