Swing Explosion 2011 Jitterbug Contest Results

Posted by on 09.19.11 9:00AM under Competitions, Dance Videos

We had a great Jitterbug contest this year at Swing Explosion. The idea of the Jitterbug contest is that there are no rules–not even restrictions on the style of dance. Anything that looks cool and fits the music is allowed. Couples competed for a $200 prize.

Six couples made it to the finals, which featured the Ottawa Jazz Orchestra for a slow round and then a fast round. Finals were danced jam-style, meaning that each couple dances one at a time in what are referred to as spotlights. The winning couples showed versatility in dancing to both the slow and fast music. Here are the 2011 placements:

  1. Bill Ewanick & Laura Smith
  2. Travis Matte & Josiane Lapierre
  3. Alec Mills & Mercedes Deziel-Hupé
