Asian Connexion

The awesome cross-cultural category! In this category, no one knows who their partner will be until the day itself. In true Lucky Dip style, they may be a complete stranger, they may not! All we do know is that ONE dancer from Ceroc Asia will be dancing with ONE dancer from the rest of the world. It’s a chance to get to know each other. Dancing Silver pass dancers get to dip their foot in the competition waters with this category included in the pass.

Level: OPEN

• Participants in this category are judged as a couple
• A couple will be comprised of one leader and one follower
• ONE of the couple must reside in Asia, ONE of the couple must reside outside Asia
