There is no such thing as the “best”
dancer; different dancers can be
equally wonderful in different ways,
judging is subjective, and it all depends
on what happens in the moment
on the night. A dance competition is
an opportunity to challenge yourself
and commit to practice and improvement.

A competitive spirit is very much a
part of the history of Lindy Hop,
and the culture of the Black American
communities who created the dance.
We all encourage and support each
other’s bravery, and we all go home
friends at the end of the day, proud
of our hard work.
