JACK & JILL COMPETITION
Dutch International Zouk Congress is a Brazilian Zouk Dance Council (“BZDC”) Registry Event. As such, points are awarded to the winners and place getters (and possibly finalists) of our Jack & Jill Competitions. The BZDC records and tracks every competitor and these points are used to identify the category a person should compete in. There must be a minimum of five couples per category for points to be recorded.
Points will be recorded and tracked as follows:
| TIER/# OF COMPETITIONS | 1ST PLACE | 2ND PLACE | 3RD PLACE | 4TH PLACE | 5TH PLACE | ADDITIONAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TIER 1 = 5-15 |
5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| TIER 2 = 16-39 |
10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 6th to 10th - 1 point |
| TIER 3 = 40+ |
15 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 1 point all finalists |
The guidelines for each category are set out on this page. If you want to enter a category for which you do not meet the entry requirements stated or want to change categories, you may submit a request by sending us an email with a brief explanation of the reason(s) for your request.
Jack & Jill competitions are designed to highlight skills in social Brazilian Zouk dancing and the ability to dance well with a variety of partners. Competitors enter as individuals, are randomly assigned partners and dance to music selected by Dutch Intertnational Zouk Congress.
