January 30th is the last chance to get the great rates for the Cabin block we have.
I’m happy to report we have exceeded the level needed to secure the dance areas we want! We’ve signed up 77 dancers so far with some joining us from as far away as Texas, Illinois, Michigan, N.Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and even Alaska! This will be another great time with people continuing to call now every day.
And…car-pooling will be set up for many areas and roommates can be arranged for those in need.
Mark and Trish had a good time this year seeing all their friends and performing for them. This year, Mark had Jack-N-Jill Productions as a vendor to do all the videography. This is a clip from the Exhibition & Forum DVD. In addition to Mark and Trish’s dance, all of the other professionals at the event showed their stuff and can be seen on the DVD as well. Enjoy the video.
Tell your friends who’ve been waiting that NOW is the time to start!

Last weekend some of you competed and it was possibly for the first time. Being the first time, did you know the rules to which you were being judged? Well, here are the WSDC rules for sanctioned competitions.
Once again “Thanks” to all of the WCS community support especially across Florida, our FloorPlay New Years Swing Vacation Event 2009 – ‘10 was a terrific success! This was Floorplay’s 11th West Coast Swing Event overall and although not the largest ever we still had a very smooth, fun filled time attended by about 480 (including staff) eager, friendly dancers with 390 for New Years Eve alone.
The FloorPlay Events work because of the overall dance community’s support, our very capable staff, and most importantly because they are geared toward maximum Open Dance time and not Competitions. Yes we conduct a few and this year had about 160 total participants which helps add to the ‘show’, but this is, and always will be a ‘Party’ event with a premium on everybody dancing and having fun. Total time dedicated to competition and awards amounted once again to only about 6 hours. That’s it. And a good portion (3.5 hrs.) of that was in the afternoon and not ‘prime time’ evening dancing.

Congratulations to our new 2009 Florida State Swing Dance Champions:
Jimmy Formelio & Cynthia Meyer
Congratulations to all of the competitors whether you placed or not. It’s not an easy thing to perform in front of large crowds and there were many newcomers who’ took the leap’. Never one to hold back an opinion however, I think most played it too safe. When competing – Express Yourselves! Read more ›
