Here is your opportunity to improve on your dance, your competition skills and an avenue to dance with dancers from around the world.
At the conclusion of all participating AANCE events, and this is no later than September 20th of any given year, the finalists from each of these events come together at Meet Me in St Louis Swing Dance Championships in late September. Here they will go head to head in a final championship round to ultimately be recognized and awarded as THE Novice J&J Champion (Lead & Follow) , Novice Strictly Swing Champion Couple, Intermediate Jack & Jill Champion (Lead & Follow), and Intermediate Strictly Swing Champion couple.
