Wouldn't It Be Cool If We Could All Get Together and Dance.

Jenn,
We do at least 6 of those events . . . the Fresno event is the very best, but a very busy and packed place during that time. It's definitely partytime there! Just difficult to do much else!

If I were to pick one of these, as having attended most of them, I'd do the Monterey Swing Fest in January . . . it leaves little or nothing for those C&W fans, but it does have a lot of Swing, NC2S, Hustle, Cha Cha, Waltz, and quite a bit of Salsa mixed in. However, there are great clubs downtown that offer Salsa . . . plus it's a great place to vacation. The weather there in January is good.

Phoenix would be my third choice, even though it would leave Care and I out as she competes with 9 routines in San Diego at the time, and I'm trying to put routines together for the Pro-Am Swing and Hustle comps.


Just my 2 cents . . .

Vince
 
Thanks, Vince. I'll wait a little while to see if I get any other suggestions, then set up a poll to get people's preferences. January sounds good to me. :D

I'll be attending Mountion Magic, Monterey Swing Fest and Fresno. I'll also vote for Monterey as being the best for all of us to meet. Easy to get to and not as crowded as the Fresno event, more variety of music.
 
Think maybe we'll get that dance afterall???

Monterey is my first choice . . . location, location, location!
 
Just as an option Jenn, keep in mind the Montez camp at the end of Dec. in SD...that way we could also all spend New Year's together! :D :D :D
 
San Diego at that time of the year is wonderful . . . and there is always a place to Swing and C&W and Ballroom, as well as a "few" places to Salsa :wink:
 
I won't be able to make it to SD for New Year's. :cry: We're having lots of relatives coming during Christmas and New Year's. Some staying at our house.

Me either . . . we'll be at World's competition in Nashville for the New Year!
:cry: Me too!

And . . . they'd probably have a miserable time w/o us!
 
what a great concept. we'd have to call the fire department, we'd be so hot!!!!!!!! 8) (bit of jr. high humor there, i couldn't resist)
 
Actually we're planning a DF "family reunion" of sorts. It will be small and part of a larger dance event (don't know if it will have tap though!)

There's currently a poll going in this forum as a run-off election between the top two locations thus far... Reno Navada and Monterey CA... isn't that on your coast? :D
