Contests & Divisions
Ingrained in Phoenix 4th of July’s heart and soul is a large emphasis on the Jack & Jill style of competition. Simply put, this consists of dancers entering as individuals and drawing their partner at random. This embodies the most important components of West Coast Swing… Social atmosphere, connection, and improvisation. Narrowing down our competitions allows our attendees to enjoy the fantastic workshops available, the remarkable hotel, and allows for the maximum amount of social dancing starting as early as 10 pm.
Our contests include the Jack & Jills, Strictlys, Champions, All American Hi-Lo, Just for Fun, the ever-popular Generational Strictly Swing, and more. We have a contest for everyone–Juniors, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, All Star, Champions, Masters. And if you didn’t know it, we are a degendered event.
You must register for a weekend pass to compete at Phoenix 4th of July. Competitors are responsible for reading and abiding by our rules as well as the rules of the WSDC.
