Flip Gender-Restricted Events

With the exception of the NASDE Showcase and Classic divisions, each individual event director has the authority to decide whether its competition divisions are role-based or gender-restricted.

Currently, 70% of events globally and 85% in the US and Canada allow dancers to choose their role in Jack and Jill's. You can find out which event directors have decided to keep gender restrictions by clicking here.

You can help change these event directors' minds just by letting them you know you care about role-based dancing. You can, for example:

• Ask event directors why they still have gender restrictions.
• Leave comments in post-event surveys.
• Inform other dancers that the gender restrictions exist.
• Provide event directors with a link to the data we have on this site.

You can also help by helping us keep the data in our Where Can I Compete? section current and reliable. Every year, new events are created, some events cease to operate, some events get new event directors, and some event rules change. If the status of your local event changes and our data doesn't reflect it, contact us.
