3. Why Did I Get This Note?

--------------------------------

Ballroom-Arkansas.com and "News Notes" have been a labor of love for over 10 years.  We've certainly enjoyed being the definitive source for Arkansas ballroom dance news and event information.  The website and our newsletter continue to enjoy ever-growing success.

Work (the paying kind!) and family obligations have prevented us from frequently and accurately updating the website this year. These changes -- all good things -- mean we are retiring the website this May 2008.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. Without you the website would not have happened.  Please continue to send dance-related information to this address:

info[at]ballroom-arkansas.com

We're looking forward to new avenues for getting our Arkansas dance information to area dancers!

Happy Dancing!

2.  EVENTS

--------------------------------

Don't miss the week-long Ballroom Dance Camp set for July 13 -17 at Sam’s Town Casino in Tunica south of Memphis. (Arkansas dancers rarely have such a close-by opportunity to attend a quality dance camp at a very affordable price!)

 The event includes 8-9 hours of group classes daily Monday – Thursday (offered at 3 skill levels in both international and American ballroom dances) and a welcome party on Sunday night, with themed dance parties Monday-Wednesday nights. Instructors include Ron & Karla Montez, Jim & Janell Maranto, and area professionals. The package price includes buffet dinners Monday - Wednesday evening, as well as the finale banquet/performance/dance on Thursday evening.  Coachings can be booked separately.  Single day-only and night-only tickets are available.

Rooms may still be available at Sam’s Town for $49/night (plus tax) with the camp registration code, while Camp registration is $585.

The first-time hosts, Dance Advantage, are experienced attendees at various other dance camps across the country and are working to make this first-time event “better than any of the ones we attend.”  Teenagers are welcome, and you can walk to the practice areas without going through (or near) the casino area!

 As well as some “great surprises,” the organizers promise you will

• “have a wonderful time – lots of fun
• Improve your dancing, and
• truly get to know more people in the dance community (lots of chances to mix, mingle, dance with one another).”

 Contact Rubyedel[at]network-one.com for more information and a registration packet.
