It's November and only a few more weeks till we announce our winner in the Modern Jive iPod Touch Freestyle dance competition. How did we do this ipod freestyle modern jive dance competitionweek? Check out the latest on the blog. There are still plenty of opportunities to get those dance in for the prizes... several weeks of class freestyle, our monthly dance social - plus dancers can do up to 5 dances each at two "non-certified" modern jive dance events as long as they dance modern jive freestyle. We've crossed the 300 freestyle dances mark... can we make 400 freestyle dances in total before this contest is over? That would be amazing. Every dance counts - and as always a big thank you to everyone for the dances and fun.

 Describe Modern Jive! 

Here's a teaser for you... 

If you had just invented this brand new dance form and were trying to get people excited about it, what would you have called it - apart from Modern Jive?

 

If we get a bunch of submissions we'll put them to a vote. While voting/winning the vote does not make the use of a name binding, there will be prizes for:

 

The submission that wins the vote

The one we actually use, IF we decide to use it. See note above. 

 

A couple of Guidelines

-- Keep ideas to as few words as possible: three words are great, two even better and one - fantastic.

-- Ideally it shouldn't be a name someone else is already using.
