What is a Jack & Jill Competition?
A Jack & Jill competition is a freestyle dance competition where participants are paired off with a random partner and compete against other couples in a social dancing competition.
Each round competitors will be paired off randomly with a partner, and dance to a random song selected by the DJ.
The last couple remaining will be declared the winner!
