Oh, my goodness! Why in the world didn't someone tell me what I was volunteering for? The world of dance is SO decentralized, and there are event listings spread hither and yon. Here's a short, short listing of some of the things I found, together with things that have already been suggested in this thread. I have mostly C&W and Swing events -- those seem to have the best organized national events websites. I'll keep looking for ballroom and salsa events. Or, if you have suggestions, please post.
By the way, there's a lot out there. Maybe we could narrow things down by picking a timeframe :?: :idea:
Paradise Country Dance Festival San Diego, CA October 31 - November 2, 2003
Phoenix Lindy Exchange, Phoenix, AZ October 30 - November 2, 2003
Mountain Magic Swing Dance Convention Reno, NV November 7 - 9, 2003
Las Vegas Dance Finale (C&W) Las Vegas, NV December 11 - 14, 2003
Al& Edie Espinoza's Salsa Freak New Years Dance Camp Palm Springs, CA December 31, 2003 - January 4, 2004
Monterey Swing Fest Monterey, CA January 15 - 19, 2004

Fresno Country Classic, Fresno, CA May 27 - 31, 2004

Disclaimer: I've never attended any of these events. I'm hoping word of mouth in the forums and our contacts will help us check the quality.
