One vein of our recent conversations on Jack & Jill contests was the observation that lots more dancers are learning both roles in the dance. "Ambidancetrous" is the term for social dancers who both lead and follow.

In February, the dance weekend Swingin at the Savoy held their first ambidancetrous dance competition. Organizer Cari Westbrook shares with us how it went and some lessons learned.
