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 of our original dates in 2020 our new date for 2021 will be 21-23 May.

Firstly, we don't feel confident enough, due to Covid 19, that dancing will be back to normal by March and also the Blackpool Tower are using this time to have renovations done to their spectacular ceiling.

However, we WILL back - bigger and better in 2021!

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.
