    There are 2 differences between Aussie DWAS and UK DWAS. The first is the swapping partners. The second is the different levels (ie beginner, intermediate and advanced). Adam already does the different levels with the Jive Masters and Mini Masters. Just make it DWAS format instead of your regular partner.

    This is what I would do:
    Invite 4 couples as at present.
    You start with your own partner, then rotate 3 times so you dance with everyone there.
    The audience still judge, but you mark the men and ladies separately.

    The ones going through are:
    Ladies favourite Lady
    Ladies favourite Man
    Mens favourite Lady
    Mens favourite Man
    (with some suitable tie-break in the unlikely event that the men & women like the same thing!)

    And as well as the Mini Masters, you could also invite the winners of his regular DWAS comps to take part in the finals.

    (Anyway DJ, why do you care? You hate competitions, so therefore would have no interest in going, and therefore no input into any debate. )

    Let the record show that DJ has been spotted judging one of Adam's DWAS competitions not so long ago.

    Congratulations!

    As I said in the thread, that's one type of competition I could possibly stomach, as it's closest (for me) to MJ ethos.

    Thanks. That's minus 10 points for you next time, mister....

    Actually, it was fun - although I didn't get any bribes from competitors, which was a distinct disappointment. I was expecting a "Strictly Ballroom" incentive in the side corridor, but Dee never turned up

    A shame indeed. All the effort with my surveillance gear in vain

    You actually saw it? I thought that fluffy pink cap would make it next to impossible to discover it. Even I had problems finding it!

    Not to self, no more cameras of the size of a bicycle.
