Each year the instructors select through a nomination process 16 dances to be reviewed as possibilities for the 8 new dances which will be added to the current Jam list. Several months are given for instructors to review the dances and then attend the Instructors Workshop and learn these dances. Then a vote is taken to select the final 8 dances to be added to the Jam list.

​

After the selection of the final 8 dances, this page will show the nominated dances as they come in for the coming year.
