WELCOME to the Open Level Jack & Jill Social Dance Competition at Tallinn Bachata Festival happening on the 9th of May, organised by Bachata Studio Tallinn & Crazy Lion Events!

📢 REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
Our Social Dance Competition will be in a Jack and Jill format, where every participant competes individually.
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! 🙂
