year, where we can all come together, let our hair down, be creative, take epic classes and party\/dance all night long! With that said, what&#8217;s a little competition amongst friends!<\/p>\n<p>TAP is a WSDC Sanctioned Event and hosts a myriad of Sanctioned Jack &amp; Jill Contests (All Gender \/ Any Role \/ Improv Divisions), and a couple other comps for funzies! Please see our schedule for a full list of Divisions.&nbsp; Here is the breakdown of each division offered:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Jack &amp; Jill Contests (Points Based):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Novice Jack &amp; Jill<\/strong> &#8211; Open to any dancer who hasn&#8217;t pointed up out of Novice.

All levels welcome except those with over 10 Champion Points at the beginning of the weekend. Also, if you make finals in the DJ Battle, you can not dance this contest with the same partner you danced in the Champs\/Allstar SS (DJ Battle) on Friday.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Champs\/Allstar Strictly<\/strong> &#8211; This is Friday Nights big show! Aka The DJ Battle. At minimum, must have Allstar points or have finalled in Classic or Showcase at the Open in the last 5 years. This contest is designed to be a good time and a show! This is a celebration of&nbsp; improv dance, DJ skill and Showmanship!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspirational Champs Improv Show<\/strong> &#8211; This typically is an invitational show.&nbsp; We limit this to a straight to final &#8216;reasonable&#8217; size, so please if you are not selected for this show, we ask for your grace and compassion. We love you and wish we could put everyone in it, but alas, that&#8217;s not realistic. If you&#8217;re coming to TAP and are not on staff, but have done high-level invitationals before and would like to be in this division, please let us know!&nbsp; We&#8217;ll do our best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Notes on dancing in multiple contests and the petition process:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Petition Guidelines &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Petitions can be submitted for one skill level up or one skill level down only.&nbsp; Competitors may submit petitions for their primary role only.

Feel free to dance one division as a leader and one division as a follow. We follow the World Swing Dance Council&#8217;s restrictions and guidelines here.&nbsp; The division a competitor selects for their&nbsp;<i>primary role<\/i>&nbsp;at the Event determines what level they may compete at for their secondary role. WSDC&nbsp;<i>recommends<\/i>&nbsp;competitors dance one (1) level down, but based on their skills, competitors&nbsp;<i>may<\/i>&nbsp;dance two (2) levels down from their primary role unless they are&nbsp;<i>required<\/i> to move up based on the WSDC Skill Level Jack and Jill Advancement Chart. Please be advised,&nbsp; at TAP to make our schedule even remotely work on time, we often are forced to run contests simultaneously in two ballrooms. We do our best to make sure we account for people dancing up or down 1 division, but as of now, the schedule is very tricky for those dancing a 2 division separation in different roles. So you might need to choose a division if you make semis, please read the schedule carefully.&nbsp;<br><br><\/li>\n<li><strong>Strictly Swing Divisions<\/strong> &#8211; Follow normal guidelines above set by the WSDC.

So please know that there is always a chance that any division might fall below the threshold to run. If ultimately we all face that situation we will follow WSDC guidelines and condense division down.&nbsp; Please know this is not our intention, but it&#8217;s always a possibility.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
