  • Men and women were randomly paired
  • The 15 couples competed in the following 3 dances:
    Salsa, Cha Cha, and a random song of either Merenegue, Bachata, or Reggaeton
  • A panel of judges scored each couple.
  • The judges scores were tallies and the top 10 couples were advanced to the final round.
What will happen next week:
  • The 10 women and 10 men finalist will once more be randomly assigned a partner!
  • In the event that a finalist is unable to participate, an alternate will be selected from the list to take their place.
  • The 10 couples will compete in the following 3 dances:
    Salsa, Cha Cha, and a random song of either Merenegue, Bachata, or Reggaeton

That is about it. I should be a good show and a fun time. We hope to see you there!

$1000 Prize awarded to the couple.

Update:

I heard this question asked a lot and was wondering myself but I just confirmed with Cisco and Duane that the $1000 grand prize for the Jack & Jill Contest at Sangria will go to the couple and NOT the individual.

I hope that clears things up for some of us!
