So what in the world is MADjam?
Mid Atlantic Dance Jam "MADjam" is all about West Coast Swing, Hustle & Hand Dance FUN!. It's a four day long party that combines exciting dance contests, workshops and tons of fun social dancing. In 2009 more than 1600 dancers of all ages and skill levels participated. It's a truly magical experience unmatched anywhere in the Mid Atlantic. Many fun contests are offered in 3 different styles of swing dancing with divisions for everyone, newcomers through professional. There are more than 50 dance workshops led by the most sought after talents anywhere. Whether you are a new beginner or have been dancing for decades, this is an extraordinary opportunity to learn from the best teachers on the planet all in one place. The social dancing is as good as it gets. Parties go till dawn each night in both ballrooms. Dancers come from every part of the country and around the globe. It's like no other dance party you've seen. Over a dozen deejays from different cities provide a great variety of music you'll enjoy all weekend.

  • Getting together with old friends and making new ones.
  • Become better dancers by learning from the best instructors.
  • Watching the best of the best move us with their enthusiasm as they compete for cash prizes and prestigious awards.
  • Above all else we want every dancer that participates at MADjam to be inspired to continue dancing and share this passion with others.

Contest Affiliations
MADjam is one of many national swing dance competitions that follows guidelines established by the World Swing dance council for the Jack & Jill swing events. It is a registry event that uses a point system to determine the skill level each dancer is qualified to enter. MADjam is also a member of the International Hustle Dance Association. We believe that standardizing rules, definitions and level entry criteria is good for event organizers and good for the competitors. MADjam is licensed by ASCAP, BMI and SESAC through the National Fast Dance Association. MADjam is part of AANCE America's Amateur Novice Championship Tour.
