For more info on the competition see the previous post below...

2010 Monterey Salsa
FREESTYLE CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

Monterey Salsa Freestyle Contest is back in ACTION!

This contest is designed for one thing...to find the best dancers in the 831.

Period.

Having seen and judged tons of other contests, we have created a set of rules guaranteed to provide maximum excitement and to find out who the best DANCERS really are. This contest is not only going to be more FAIR than traditional contests, it's going to be way more fun to watch. So how does it work? Let's find out...

YOU PICK YOUR PARTNER
This is a partner-based competition, so you will need a dance partner to participate. If you have one, cool. If not, let us know and we'll try to help you find one.

WE PICK THE MUSIC
We want to find the best dancers, not the best choreographers. And, real dancers can rip to ANY music. So, you will not know in advance what your song will be. On the day of the contest, we will select the music that you will dance to. You will just have to be ready to rip to whatever comes on. This will filter out the REAL Salseros from the imposters.

CHAMPIONSHIP BRACKETS
If you have 10 couples on the floor all dancing at once, who can watch them all? And if you have the couples perform one at a time, it's hard to remember what they did, or who was better than whom. So, instead of the traditional format, we will be setting up brackets like a real tournament. In each round, one couple will face off against another couple. The tournament will be single elimination, and couples will compete head on until a winner is crowned!!

Qualifying Round 1: Friday July 9th, 2010
Qualifying Round 2: Friday July 16th, 2010
Qualifying Round 3: Friday July 23rd, 2010
Qualifying Round 4: Friday July 30th, 2010
FINALS: Friday August 6th , 2010


Photobucket

TWO PAIRS ENTER, ONE PAIR LEAVES

That's right, we gettin' Thunderdome on this!!! When it's time to compete, two couples will step onto the dance floor. Neither couple will know what the song will be.

When the music starts, both couples will begin dancing. When the song ends, the judges and the audience will decide on a winner. One couple will advance further into the tournament & the other will be eliminated.

The advancing couples will continue to compete until only one remains.

$500 CASH PRIZE!
WINNER TAKE ALL!

The winning couple will receive $500 cash and the title of:
"Monterey Salsa Freestyle Champion!!"

ENTER TODAY!!!
You can enter online by emailing us at team@montereysalsa.com, or by calling 831-224-4414. We will be accepting entries throughout July and you can enter the night of each qualifying round before 10pm. The contest kicks off with the first qualifying round on July 9th 2010!!

There is no charge to enter, and dancers of all skill levels, beginner to professional, are welcome to join.

If you have any questions, please email us at team@montereysalsa.com or by calling 831-224-4414.

Qualifying Round 1: Friday July 9th, 2010

Oh snap!

Anyway, who's in? Roll call! Hit me up on MySpace...
