HELLO DANCERS
As has been our custom, for the early event arrivals and local dancers we will have an opening night ‘Kickoff Dance at BB Kings Restaurant & Nightclub on Thurs. night Dec. 29th. Arrival time is up to you. BB Kings is located directly across the street from the Rosen Plaza Hotel where the New Years Event takes place this weekend. It is upstairs in the Pointe Orlando complex. A great place to eat and terrific Live Band Blues entertainment. Some of our own Swing music will be played between band sets. You will need to pick up either a FloorPlay Business card or New Years Event flier that will be available at the FloorPlay Swing Vacation registration desk to present at BB Kings to waive the normal $5 admission fee to the club.
Hope to see you there!

Sunday is Red, White & Black night!
If you are able, we would like to have everyone wear Red, White or Black on Sunday night for social dancing—your choice of any of those colors, or any combination of 2 or all 3. It’s not mandatory, but we though it would be a fun thing to have a color scheme… especially for those who will be posting pictures or videos on Facebook or videos of Sunday night dancing on Youtube. Other events have done this and it makes for really interesting pictures and videos to help promote the event for the following years.
Still need a room at the Rosen Plaza? Call 407-996-9700 for reservations-Mention FloorPlay Swing Vacation for special $108. Rate; sleep 4. When calling to reserve a room, please ask for Lisa Garcia if they say they are sold out. She is holding several rooms for FloorPlay. Her direct line is 407-996-1734. The Rosen Plaza sells out EVERY year due to the Holidays, Football game and Theme Parks. Our rate is always available, but the rooms will be GONE! Don’t lose out! Reserve Now!
FloorPlay is proud to announce we are joining the very popular Golden Ticket Tour THIS year at our New Years Event. No Open Dance time will be affected as we are able to schedule the competition during the times allotted for Jack ‘n Jill Prelims and finals. Those familiar with and who compete in the GTT know how it works and those new to the concept will find it a unique concept and exciting way to watch the competitors that moves very quickly. Registration for the GTT will be available immediately upon arrival at our Registration Desk.
