SSDC Competition Rules - When you make the decision to compete the first thing you should do is read the rules. Every competition is a little bit different so to be sure you aren’t penalized for a rule violation read the rules carefully, Our competitions draw dancers from the entire Northwest (Vancouver, Portland, and Spokane) and are a great way to prepare for competing at Seattle Easter Swing or other national conventions. Current judges on the committee include many long-time SSDC club members and respected instructors with years of training who have provided private lessons, classes and workshops for many dancers in the community.
