Jack'n'Jill, Strictly or Choreography?

There are different types of competitions in 4-Step Rock: Jack'n'Jill, Strictly, and choreography competitions.

Jack'n'Jill

Jack’n’Jill is a very popular competition format for partner dances, especially in 4-Step Rock.

Its unique feature? Everyone registers individually, and partners are randomly assigned during the competition. In short, you don't come with a partner: chance decides who you dance with… and to what music.

Our Jack’n’Jill competitions give you SCR4T points, a benchmark system for 4-Step Rock competitions.

Partner and music chosen at random

At each stage of the competition (preliminaries, semi-finals, finals):

partners are randomly selected,
the music is revealed on the spot,
you dance with several different partners throughout the competition.

👉 This allows you to demonstrate your adaptability, your listening skills, and your connection with others, independently of your dance partner.

Divisions for dancing at an equivalent level

Jack’n’Jill competitions are organized into divisions (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced), defined by the SCR4T system.

This allows you to dance with people of a similar level and experience a stimulating and balanced competition.

A competition focused on the individual

Unlike fixed-pair competitions, Jack’n’Jill showcases each participant’s individual dance, rather than a pre-arranged couple.

Judges observe, in particular, the connection with different partners, the musicality, the adaptability, and the quality of the shared dance. This is why SCR4T points are awarded exclusively for this format: they reflect individual progress, not that of a duo.

Strictly

Strictly is a duo competition format designed to highlight the connection, chemistry, and teamwork between two dancers. Unlike Jack'n'Jill, here you register as a pair and are judged as a duo throughout the competition.

Strictly is ideal for partners who love dancing together and want to take on a shared challenge.

An improvised dance

Even though the duo is fixed, the dance remains entirely improvised:

the songs are chosen randomly from a dedicated playlist,
the music is discovered on the spot,
no choreography is prepared in advance.

The couples must therefore demonstrate listening skills, adaptability, and creativity, while relying on their existing connection.

A "poules" format

The performances take place in groups of several duos, called "poules":

each "poule" dances to several different musics,
several couples share the dance floor at the same time,
the goal is to show off your dance without "overpowering" the others.

Balanced divisions, without SCR4T points

Strictly competitions are organized into divisions (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). These divisions are based on the dancers' SCR4T points to ensure a balanced competition.

No SCR4T points are awarded in Strictly. This format is primarily a competitive and artistic experience, with no impact on your personal SCR4T ranking.

Choreography

The choreography competition is a format that celebrates creativity, artistic expression, and teamwork. There are no random draws or musical surprises: you are invited to imagine, create, and present your own choreography.

You register as a duo, with the partner of your choice, and freely choose your music. From there, everything is in your hands: choreography construction, performance, style, and intention.

A duo, a joint project

The choreography competition is based on a collaborative creative process:

you form a fixed couple,
you dance together from beginning to end,
you develop a shared artistic identity.

It's an ideal format for duos who enjoy building, rehearsing, and refining a dance until it's ready to be performed on stage.

A music chosen in advance

Unlike other competition formats:

the music is selected by the duo,
the choreography is prepared in advance,
the performance is conceived as a complete choreographic tableau.

This allows for in-depth work on musicality, structure, and interpretation.

A different format, another way to challenge yourself

The choreography competition doesn't test adaptation or improvisation, like Jack'n'Jill or Strictly. It primarily values the artistic construction and creative vision of the duo.

It's a rich, demanding, and extremely rewarding experience for those who love creating and telling a story through dance.

What are SCR4T Points?

During our Jack'n'Jill competitions, results are used to award SCR4T points.

SCR4T ("Système Compétitif de Rock 4 Temps", or Competitive 4-Step Rock System) is a benchmark system used in many 4-Step Rock competitions, particularly in the Île-de-France region.

Rock 4 You did not create this system, but adopts it to offer consistent and comparable competitions with those organized elsewhere.

The SCR4T is based on a system of divisions and points, designed to support dancers' progress over time.

Each participant:

competes in a division corresponding to their level,

accumulates SCR4T points based on their results,

progresses to the next division when a certain threshold is reached.

The goal is to ensure balanced, motivating competitions adapted to each stage of a dancer's journey.

What are SCR4T points used for?

Generally, the progression is structured as follows:

Beginner Division: entry point for dancers starting out in competition
Intermediate Division: accessible after accumulating sufficient points
Advanced Division: for the most experienced dancers

Each division advancement is based on competition results, not arbitrarily.

For a complete description, detailed rules, and to find out your division, we invite you to consult the official SCR4T website, which presents the overall operation of the competitive system: https://4temps.dance/
