A sved tancos listan vetettek fel azt az erdekes kerdest hogy
beneveztunk egy Jack and Jill tipusu lindy hop versenyre de
igazabol gozunk sincs rola hogy ez mit jelent. A listan meg is
jelent a valasz egy webhelyrol ollozva, az angolul tudoknak
ide masolom a teljes szoveget es rovid magyar osszefoglalot
adok. A lenyeg az hogy nem parok hanem fiuk (Vezetok) es
lanyok (Kovetok) neveznek es kalapbol kihuzva parositjak
ossze a versenyzo parokat. Ez egesz mas tipusu versenyzes
mint az osszeszokott paroke, sokkal izgalmasabb lehet.

| JACK N' JILL
| Angelino Jack Carey, whose long-time partner is Little Annie
| Hirsch who often serves as Chief Judge of Swing competitions,
| created the Jack 'n' Jill form of competition in 1955. Individuals
| sign up as individuals. Men are usually designated as Leaders and
| women are usually designated as Followers. The usual manner of
| partner selection is the names are placed in segregated hats. A
| Leader's name will be called. He will reach into the other hat for
| the name of his Follower. She, then, will select the name of the
| next Follower's Leader. Sometimes the dancers are judged as
| individuals. Sometimes they're judged as couples. Sometimes there
| are preliminaries followed by a final with many fewer couples.
| Sometimes it's a one- shot deal. Sometimes in the preliminaries
| the competitors are judged as individuals and then, in the final
| (with a newly-selected partner), judged as couples. I think the
| Jack 'n' Jill is the _best_ form of competition because it's so
| highly dependent upon the skill of the individual participants as
| opposed to couples entering competitions with choreographed
| routines. And, of course, the unpredictability makes for good fun
| such as people separated by two generations competing together or
| people of widely varied physical types and all sorts of fun
| combinations. When a Leader draws his regular Follower, such a
| selection is likely to be greeted with friendly boos and cries of
| "Fix! Fix!"
