Description
Last spots available for followers or couples (leader + follower).
That means that you don’t need to join with a partner, as dancers will be matched up randomly and everyone will be evaluated individually and not as a couple.
It is an excellent opportunity to showcase your skills and creativity. But the most important thing is that you will have fun and challenge yourself!
