Here are your brief, simple, friendly Terms and Conditions for the Dance-Off at We Prefer to Swing, Saturday 12 April 2025 at the Brunswick Ballroom.

​

Have fun

The prizes are real, but let's not take ourselves too seriously! Let's have some fun, and let the judges decide who won using the criteria below.

​

The song

"Bliss" begins with a slow guitar and voice ballad, for a bit of close dancing, before launching into a short, super-catchy song that swings along at a brisk 186 bpm, no stop time, for just over 2 minutes with a very sudden finish.  It's begging to be choreographed!

​

Steps to enter

​

The winning dance moves

The judges will be looking for a set of dance moves that is great to watch and, most importantly, can easily be copied by others in future.  In other words, keep it easy enough for other people to be able replicate your dance moves.  We want to create a sequence that people will dance to every time we play this song!  Note: you must begin dancing during the slow introduction, and continue for the rest of the song, but of course there can be repeated moves during the song.
