The Judges

The challenge here is to dance modern jive with a prop, however, the twist for the Judges is that J&T organisers choose the props and the judges have to dance with each one in turn...

Advanced Level @ Properly Done

With some unexpected last minute dropouts, we were super chuffed that these 2 lovely duos decided to go ahead and compete in a Battle of the Props!

And, they absolutely excelled at it! You won't be surprised to know they came 1st equal, with exactly the same numeric scores - as voted by our expert panel of 6 judges

Thank YOU!! To all who came to QT to jive and by doing so, enabled others to thrive! You helped raise $331.60 for headlight charity and through Humanitix a proportion of the booking fees also go to Maori and Pacifica children's education.

We appreciated & loved having you all in in town and there's a bunch of us from Queenstown heading up to Simply Dance Weekend 2023, so we hope to have a dance with you again soon!

P.s. All the fun comp videos coming tomorrow!
