Chicagoland:
An Overview of Saturday Saturday
day is jam packed full of workshops with classes
designed for everyone from the absolute beginner to the
intermediate/advanced. You can
actually be a student of the dance from Pro-Am
competitions also begin on Saturday morning.
Your SNC competitors would really appreciate a little whooping and
hollering as they put out their very best for the test! Saturday
evening begins with Open Dancing at Volunteers are always needed to set up the cityscape backdrop and the floor on
Thursday night and to take them down on Sunday afternoon. During the weekend, volunteers are needed
for a variety of fun stuff. More details are available
here. Contact Julie
Hein or Jennifer
Jeffries for specifics. “Economics of Dance Events”
Reminder. Room nights make
ballroom space, workshop rooms and other amenities possible. “Heads-in-beds” means the hotel gives more
things at less expense to the event which helps keep event rates to you lower. There are perks for News Flash! The following just in from Jennifer: “BIG schedule change for this year:
Masters will dance part of their program at We need about 25 more room nights to cover
our...obligations! We're gettin' there. The event is shaping up
beautifully and we are SO excited to bring great dancers to Big hug~ Jen” |
