Q:  How do I win your dance contest?

A:  You must have a number to win the contest. After receiving your number, skank through the entire Uptones set, and then wait for the judges to announce the winner.

Q. Where do I get a number?

A.   Numbers are assigned the evening of the contest at the registration
table.
It’s first come first serve.

Q . Are there any other hints you can give us?

A.  Yes.  I would dress very ska.
