Rounds

​The competition will only have one round, with the band playing the same song all the time. It consists of 3 phases: 

• —
  ​Phase 1: The organization will decide the order of appearance of each group. The band will start the song at a tempo of 140 BPM. In this phase each group will have a chorus of 32 bars (16 eights) to dance whatever they want (lindy, solo jazz, balboa, fast blues, tap... everything is welcome!). At the end of the chorus, the group will leave the center of the track and a new group will enter.
• —
  ​Phase 2: At the end of Phase 1, the band will raise the tempo to 180 BPM. Again, each group will have a chorus of 32 bars to do another different routine.
• —
  —
  ​Final Phase "Make some noise": Once Phase 2 is over, the band will continue playing and all the groups will go to the center of the track at the same time. If before everything was worth here more than ever, give it your all and enjoy until the song ends! At the end of the song, the jury will decide the winning group.
