Really looking forward to coming over as part of our summer Tucson vacation with Dee & Shaz to do this event with Ruben & Frank - It will be a great weekend with non-stop dancing from Thursday evening thru Sunday evening - 7th - 10th June - The event is for all-comers beginners thru advanced - Something for everyone - For the Beginners/Improvers in particular there is a Beginner workshop room & in social dancing in the main ballroom too we'll be doing floor splits throughout the weekend so that it really will be non-stop dancing for all - There will be a mix of dances Easy-Intermediate thru Advanced taught in the main ballroom throughout the weekend plus lots of social dancing - And fun stuff too - We'll be bringing over lots of Brit chocolate as usual as part of the 'dancing fuel' as well as the Pizza & other stuff that comes with the weekend pass :-) 
 
It's a quality hotel (Don't forget to mention the event to get the special rate) - With a free shuttle service to the event venue just 5 minutes away - We had an awesome time last year & plan more of the same this year - Any queries please just 
Email Me
 
Ruben was with us last year so you could ask him about it too if you want to get an idea what it's all about States-side - Although it is non-stop dancing it is different !! :-) ........... It's a bit like the Orlando 'Experience' ............ Except the venue is a separate top quality & big gated community entertainment facility (Awesome sprung dance floor) - And we dance there all day Friday/Saturday until around 9.30pm & then move on to a different local bar/grill type venue each night where we eat, drink & carry on dancing & partying until late :-)
 
We get lots of locals dancing with us as well as many visitors from out of State, including quite a gang from Europe - Some making a dancing vacation of it moving on from JG which is the weekend before - Dee & Shaz are coming over the weekend before & we are going to Tombstone on the Saturday/Sunday & spending vacation time in Tucson Monday - Wednesday before travelling up to Phoenix for the pre-event party on the Thursday evening - If anyone would like to check into one of the many good value motels near us in North Tucson near I-10/Ina they are more than welcome to join is sightseeing, shopping & eating/drinking - The more the merrier !! :-) ........ Or just check into the event hotel earlier maybe or stay afterwards & enjoy the Phoenix area.
 
We wait until the last minute to decide the workshop schedule so that as well as recent releases you'll know of & be keen to learn, there will be many red hot new ones which won't have even been a twinkle in the eye !! :-), with copies of all the dances to hand out as they are taught.
  
Anybody interested in coming direct to Phoenix (Thursday for the pre-party or the event starts Friday morning thru Sunday afternoon - Plus a post-event party night out Sunday) & would like help getting from/to the airport just let me know & we'll do all we can - As well as ourselves on vacation with transport, we have other locals too offering to help all they can - It's only 30 minutes from the airport & a lovely hotel - But no direct shuttle but we can hopefully work that out to avoid the cost if you don't want a hire car - The local guys are amazing & also help us all get everyone to & from the late-night dancing venues, although they are not far from the hotel.

Would like to advertise a fun event in Arizona - The 4th Annual Desert Dance Line Dance Festival - June 7th-10th - In Phoenix - With Dee, Shaz, Ruben & myself teaching you hot new dances from around the world of all levels as well as new ones from Dee, Shaz & Ruben themselves - And a few new/exclusive hot new releases from the UK taught from myself - The event is a bit different from the 'norm' though, so I'd like to explain !! :-) ............ If you were with us in 2009, 2010 or 2011 it's more of the same :-) ........

The event itself is at a quality Adult Community facility 'Las Palmas Grand' (Mesa - East Phoenix) - And dancers can stay at a nearby Country Inn & Suites where a special rate has been arranged - With a shuttle service available to the venue (Or you can make your own arrangements for accommodation) - There is a rolling mix of teaches, recaps & social dancing non-stop through-out the event - Friday Noon-9.30pm, Saturday 10am-9.30pm & Sunday 10am-4pm - With two rooms offering a full mix of all-comer dancing throughout the weekend.

As well as non-stop dancing at the event itself at Las Palmas, the idea is also to maximize the fun time !! - So each night at 9.30pm we close & then relocate to nearby venues where we can eat, drink & be merry until the early hours - And still dance some more - Optional for the party people !! :-) We also like to get together on the Thursday evening too for a pre-event social dancing party at a local bar - And likewise a post-event night on the Sunday

If you'd like more information contact me - Or in the States contact Co-Directors Janet Wallace direct at janetjim.az@netzero.com in Phoenix (480-984-0455) or Carolyn in Tucson ckpurpleleo@aol.com  .............

If you want to make a mini vacation out of it join us in Tucson for Monday - Wednesday before the event & we'll have a great time together in Tucson & Southern Arizona - Or you could go straight to Phoenix, get a good deal with the event hotel & see Central/Northern Arizona with Janet

This event is for folk who like non-stop dancing or a fun party time ......... OR BOTH !!! :-)
