This is a lead and follow Competition, in which, you sign up with your teacher.

We offer a cash prize for Top Teacher! $200! Max 5 Entries per Division per Role.
ALL LEVELS... ALL ROLES! This is a lead, follow, switch competition. You sign up solo and will get rotated and paired with another dancer ready to lead, follow and switch! Finals will be held 'late-night' with all the Vibes!
This division is a little All American & a little Hi-Lo but more magical! Newcomer, Novice and Intermediate Dancers will be randomly paired with Intermediate and Advanced Dancers in prelims! (this will be based on your ALLOWED LEVEL in WSDC). In a perfect world, all Intermediate dancers will dance as a Hi, but if we have too many Hi's some might dance down. Everyone in prelims will be judged like it's a normal All American Jack and Jill, aka as a couple. But when you get to finals, you all will be drawing a Champ/Allstar Dancer! This is what WCS is all about! Get to finals on your ability to dance and connect; 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! Allstar and Champion Dancers, we'll be looking for 10 Leads & 10 Follows who are at the event and willing to dance in Finals! You'll go straight to finals. Thank you for giving back to the community and dancing with all the up and coming dancers!

All YOU-Nicorn J&J
Prelims are an ran as a Jack & Jill consisting of one Newcomer, Novice or Intermediate dancer & and one Intermediate or Advanced Dancers. If we have an abundance of one level we reserve the right to pair you up with any level. Our judges will judge dancers as a couple, just like an All American Competition. Finalists will be matched with a Top Level Dancer aka Pro in Finals, who we designate before the contest starts. Those pros will not dance prelims, they go straight to finals. The idea of this contest is show your lead and follow ability in prelims in a ‘Hi-Low’ Scenario and then get rewarded in finals with top level fun draws!
