The Desert Classic Times
Official Newsletter of the Desert Classic DanceSport Championships |
Dear Ballroom Enthusiast,
2010 is a record year for the Desert Classic! We have over 5,200 entries and many of them arrived at the last minute. So, we apologize that the heat lists are not yet posted. We are working as quickly as we can to get them published (hopefully sometime on Tuesday). We invite you to check the website as this is our last pre-event email. We have included a link in the right column for your convenience in checking.
Important Update on Friday Schedule: We apologize but the Friday matinee session has to start at 7 am as we unexpectedly had many entries in Pro/Am Rhythm and Latin. Please be in the ballroom at least 30 minutes before your event.
Update on Sunday Schedule: Please check the schedule when you arrive. The "Chicken Dance" may move to a later time.
Please let us know if there is anything at all we can do for you this weekend. We'd love very much to make you happy. Our officials will be available to assist you any time: Yolanda Vargas (On-Deck Captain), Dara Campbell (Ballroom coordinator), Gitte Svendsen (Registrar), Ava Brennen (Chairman of Judges).
