  * NOTE * New for SSDC contests this year, beginning in April, 2013: All WCS contests; J&J’s and SS’s, including points divisions, are gender neutral (i.e. role choice). In points divisions, contestants must stay with one role throughout the contest year. Example: John Swinger dances as a follower in New/Nov and a leader in Int/Adv – no switching back and forth in a single points division. Contestants may switch roles from contest to contest in all other WCS comps. Night Club Two Step contests will not be gender neutral.
