BATTLES.

QUALIFICATIONS

• The prelims will take place in groups (heat) of 5-8 people on 3 songs from the DJ at different tempos (approximately 1 minute per song).
• In addition to the two guest dancers, 14 participants will be selected by the jury and will enter the quarter-finals.
• The 16 selected will be assigned a pair by drawing lots: the final phases will therefore be in pairs (8 couples).

FINAL ROUNDS

• Each duo of dancers will compete against another duo of 2 different music from the live band (swing and blues structure.
• 2 rounds in the 1/4 and 1/2 with only 1 passage of 1 mn per dancer and 1 music corresponds to 1 round, it means the passages of 2 dancers.
• A round is not necessarily solo; depending on the chosen strategy, it can be performed as a duo. There will be no imposed chorus, let yourself be carried away by the music!
• At the end of each battle the jury chooses the winning couple.
• 4 couples will therefore be chosen by the jury to enter the 1/2 final which will take place later in the evening.
• The 1/2 finals will follow the same rules as the 1/4 finals.
• For the finalists, 4 rounds = 2 one-minute performances per dancer to the live band (be prepared for surprises).
