## Frequently asked questions

**Q: What is the WSDC?**
A: The World Swing Dance Council (WSDC) is the governing body for competitive West Coast Swing dancing worldwide. It maintains a points registry that tracks dancer achievements across WSDC-sanctioned events. Dancers accumulate points to advance through divisions: Newcomer, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, All-Star, and Champion/Sophisticated.

**Q: What is a WSDC-registered event?**
A: A WSDC-registered event is a West Coast Swing dance event officially recognised by the World Swing Dance Council. These events offer WSDC points competitions (Jack & Jill, Strictly Swing) that count toward a dancer's official division ranking.

**Q: What is a Jack & Jill competition?**
A: A Jack & Jill (J&J) is a randomised partner West Coast Swing competition. Leaders and followers are drawn randomly to dance with partners they've never met before. Judges score dancers on their ability to connect with random partners, musical interpretation, and technique. J&Js are the primary points competition at WSDC events.

**Q: What is Strictly Swing?**
A: Strictly Swing is a West Coast Swing competition where partners choose to compete together in advance. Unlike Jack & Jill, couples train and choreograph together. Points earned in Strictly are lower than Jack & Jill at many events.

**Q: How many WSDC events are there?**
A: There are 420+ WSDC-registered events listed on Westie Hub, held annually across the USA, Europe, Canada, Australia, and other countries. New events are added regularly as the WSDC registry updates.

**Q: Is Westie Hub free?**
A: Yes. Browsing all WSDC events is free with no account required. Creating a free account unlocks attendance tracking, event planning tools, listings, the friends system, and your personal dancer profile.

**Q: Where does Westie Hub get its event data?**
