Modern Jive Dance Challenge Updates and Leader Board    

iPod Dance Challenge Leader Board is now up! 
The race is on to win a bright shiny iPod Touch! I want to win it... because... well I want an iPod Touch. The competition is busily dusting off their dancing shoes and   Jive Nation Toronto Modern Jive Dance Competitionclocking up those freestyle dances... what have I let myself in for? :-)
This won't be a dance in the park (or will it?) I have the feeling we are just getting started.

Geat fun, especially as we've now got some names up in lights on our first leader board.  Snapshot - Nicky's in the lead at the moment, but Loong isn't far behind. Harry and Justin are right in there.  Matt has some work to do, but to be fair to Matt that's because prior engagements meant he missed his regular modern jive class and September's monthly social. He'll be doing some serious catching up. Meanwhile, at our September 24th social Nicky clocked up a whopping 18 dances... with some great dances from Loong, Harry and Francis. Want some tips for getting in more dances?
Read more and get the bigger picture  

I now have tally counters for purchase at $2. Please obtain one from me so you can count and keep track of your dances. Still want in? October 5th is the last chance to register. 
 
Ladies - step up!
