Registration dates for 2012: TBA, but we are aiming for the first week in April. Last year we sold out in 48 hours, as too many folks will remember (sorry - we do wish EVERYone could participate) so please do watch this space.
We are offering a sponsorship opportunity this year, to allow dancers who are sure they want to attend, to help sponsor a scholarship position, and as a "thank you" will have a space reserved for 2012. Details!!
We will have Sunderland Hall dorms this year, so many of our dancers will stay in air conditioned comfort. Sponsors will have first dibs on Sunderland rooms.
Don't forget: the easiest way to be informed is to join our Group on Facebook:
