Competitions<\/h2>\n

Two flagship competitions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Choreographic Competition<\/strong> (Friday evening) invites dancers to create a two-minute choreography to a piece by a jazz icon such as Ella Fitzgerald in 2025 or Count Basie in 2024.
This year, Duke Ellington’s repertoire will be featured…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jazz vs All Styles Battle <\/strong>(Sunday evening), which pits jazz dancers against dancers from other styles (such as Hip Hop, for example) in an improvised showdown to jazz and pop music tracks carefully selected by a DJ.<\/p>\n
