Šat the Memorial Day Dance Fest!

After a two-year hiatus, there's finally a UCWDC event on the Memorial Day Weekend east of the Rockies.

We're back home again in South Bend, Indiana and we hope you'll join us for a laid-back, friendly event with lots of open dancing and time to socialize with friends.

Ten reasons why you should come to the Memorial Day Dance Fest:

1. It's a friendly, non-threatening place to compete. So get on the competition floor for the first time. Or compete again after a lay-off. Come on inŠthe water's warm!

2. There are unique, picnic-themed prizes. Very cool. And everyone is invited to attend the Sunday night picnic dinner in the atrium. For $20 per person, you get a full spread of picnic favorites - and we guarantee that it won't rain on OUR picnic!

3. Like a family reunion, we have one ballroom. During open dancing, country couples and swing dancers will enjoy a fabulous California mix of music from DJs Don and Jean Kingen. As the night gets later, there's more swing music for those who need to dance 'til dawn.

4. Line dancers have a place to groove, too. While this isn't a line-dance intensive event, it is line dance friendly. Local instructors

get a chance to shine as they teach and party in the hotel atrium. DJ Bob

Boyle will play hot new dances and all your old favorites.

5. New workshop option: INTENSIVES. Take part in these small-group classes guaranteed to improve your dancing! Class size is limited to only 10 people!

6. The Princess of Fun, Deby Clark from Dallas Texas, will lead the way with games and giddiness all weekend. Win great prizes (like serious BBQ stuff) by participating in the scavenger hunt, the bingo raffle, and activities too crazy to mention here.

7. SUNDAY NIGHT. Remember those crazy Sunday night dances? The

skits? The ice cream social? They're baaaaack! There's no excuse not to

spend Sunday night dancing and laughing. The competition is over and Monday is a holiday. Wooo HOOOOOO!

8. Golf on Monday. Call Randy for info at 765-563-1111.

9. The event hotel is the beautiful Marriott in downtown South Bend. (Remember when the event was held in the Century Center? Same hotel - and most of the activities are in the hotel rather than tne convention center). A block of rooms in the hotel is reserved until May 7th at a rate of $94 per night for up to four people. After May 7, you may be able to get a room, but the block will be opened up to the general public. Don't be disappointed. Get a room now. Round up your friends and share the cost.

10. Jennifer has a NEW DUCK JOKE and new finger puppets!!

Can't wait to see you in South Bend!
