The World Modern Jive Championships (WMJC) takes place in the stunning Blackpool Tower Ballroom each year.

We kick off the exciting weekend with a warm-up freestyle Friday, followed by a just-for-fun 'Battle of the Sexes' competition where ladies lead ladies and the guys lead guys.

Following the postponement or our original date in March due to Covid-19, we are re- scheduling the World Modern Jive Championships for the weekend of 28-30 August.

We are hoping that by this time, things might be back to normal, but of course, we are following Government advice and will notify everyone if the competition cannot go ahead in August.

This prestigious competition (and the real fun!) begins on Saturday, with a range of categories to cover all styles of Modern Jive (doors open at 9.30am). This is followed by the Awards Ceremony in the evening. Just in case you haven't had enough dancing, our After Party starts immediately after the awards, with freestyle dancing continuing until 2am.

After an action-packed Saturday, we have a Sunday 'chill-down' freestyle, where we take over the Blackpool Tower Ballroom once again for an afternoon dancing to more fantastic Modern Jive tunes.
