Well, the event has come and gone but will not soon be forgotten. My original suspicion was correct and the event indeed rocked. Quite possibly the best thing outside Camp Hollywood (CH has some amazing bands and a bigger, air conditioned dance hall).
The quality of instruction was outstanding, due mainly to the quality of instructors. The organizers brought out the best of the best, most of whom are from California. Ashley and I took 12 workshops and got more out of the last weekend than the past two years as a whole! In my opinion it's what really made the event.
The DJed music was excellent as well. I felt like it was a giant Swing Shift with really good dancers. I always get a kick out of certain LI individuals who criticize my choice of music tell me how I'm "in the *explative deleted* stratosphere"... but when it comes to the serious contests and dances where music actually matters to the dancers the pros all seem to have something in common and it ain't "Put Down the Ducky" by Bert & Ernie!!!
It was nice to see so many familiar faces there as well. We had a pretty good showing from LI and I think we all got a lot out of the weekend. Hopefully we can keep the ball rolling back home and make use of all we saw and learned. And hopefully the organizers will continue to go the extra mile and bring out the CA instructors again next year!!!
