“The Nice Competition”
This competition will be a rip roaring, smackdown of which balboa scene is the most “Midwest Nice.” This competition is open so that any scene can participate. Dancers will receive 1-3 points on each dance they receive from their social dancing partners at the Friday and Saturday night dances. Therefore, the more social dances they have, the more chances they have to win.
Rules
- This competition is free to participate!
- Dancers from any scene (even outside of the Midwest) may participate.
- At the end of each social dance, participants will give a card to his or her dance partner.
- Partners will judge their partner on the “niceness” of the dance. They should consider how well their partner listened and reacted to their dancing, their friendliness, and teamwork during the dance.
- Cards should be turned in by dance partners to the front desk. Cards that are unscored will receive one point. All cards must be turned in by the end of the dance on Saturday night.
- Points will be divided by the number of people in the scene participating. This means that even small scenes will have an equal chance to win!
Prize
- Awards will be announced at the Sunday night dance.
- The winning scene will receive a trophy and $200 to build their balboa scene.
