J&J Competition at Crazy Lion Bachata Congress 2025 - Festival Salsa, Bachata à Gothenburg, Sweden

🏆 CRAZY LION BACHATA CONGRESS & WARSAW BACHATA MEET UP! PRESENTS: 🔥 GOTHENBURG BACHATA SOCIAL COMPETITION 🔥 Happening at Crazy Lion Bachata Congress on 17-20th of January 2025!! The biggest bachata social competition is spreading across Europe! Our first stop for 2025 is in Sweden. The semi-finalists and finalists from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Belgium and Germany (more TBA) are going to the WORLD FINALS in Autumn 2025 in Warsaw. Our Social Dance Competition will be in a Jack and Jill format where every participant competes individually. That means that you don’t need to join with a partner, as dancers will be matched up randomly and everyone will be evaluated individually and not as a couple. It is an excellent opportunity to showcase your skills and creativity. But the most important thing is that you will have fun and challenge yourself! 🤩🚀 ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▶ REGISTRATION ◀ ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ We will have 2 categories of competition: ✪ Rising Star Category ✪ ▶ 2+ year dancing ▶ Teachers allowed ▶ Finalists dance with Judges ▶ Maximum 70 spots / 35 Couples ✪ Participation Fee for Rising Star Category is 20€. ✪ Amateur Category ✪ ▶ 0-1,5/2 year dancing ▶ Teachers not allowed ▶ Only visual judging, no dancing with judges ▶ No previous winners of J&J ▶ Maximum 40 spots / 20 couples ✪ Participation Fee for Amateur Category is 15€. ✪ To compete in Jack & Jill you need a Full Pass or Party Pass.
