Line Dance Marathon information

From Jean Garr:

Hi Line Dancers!

Attached is the 2012 jg Line Dance Marathon flyer. If you could pass out or send to your fellow dancers that would be great. (For some reason every attachment zips!! UGH!). If the Winzip causes a problem, Registration and Information forms will be on the website www.jgpresentsmarathon.com early next week. You’ll also be able to book your hotel room online from the website.

I know this is a bit later than usual and I hope you’re having a great 2012 so far.

With the help of Scott Blevins, and the input of many from the dance community, I’m changing the entire format of the Marathon. This is the beginning of a new era for The Marathon, and I’m very excited, and a little scared. ;-)

Some of the changes are:

• There will not be any paid workshops.
  
• There will be four workshop rooms and all workshops will be included in the weekend pass.
  
• The dance previews will be Thursday and Friday evenings.
  
• There will be two ballrooms for evening dancing. The Imperial ballroom - (focusing on today’s popular dances and requests) and the Empire ballroom - (focusing on beginner and improver dances taught throughout the weekend and requests)

We’re still going to have a theme for the weekend and encourage people to join in the fun by dressing up for the Saturday evening show and dance, but we’ll be dropping the parade but still have a costume contest.

With your participation, I know we can make sure that the Marathon continues to be a successful and popular event for many years to come.

Look for to seeing many of you again.

Jean
