Top Cat Challenge |
The Hepcats believe
that
competition type activities (of course, friendly and
fun competitions) are beneficial to helping improve
any Lindy Hop/Balboa dance scene. One
of the best ways for
an individual to take their swing dancing to the
"next level" is to participate in jam circles, a
performance group, a couples contest, a Jack and
Jill contest, etc. These activities get the
competitive juices flowing and are often a
catalyst for individual improvement.
And friendly and healthy dance competitions also
bring excitement and enthusiasm to the swing dance
scene, and often inspire other swing dancers to take
their dancing to the next level! |
