    This year's fun and beginner-friendly competition will conform better to
    other events with changes including all four styles (Smooth, Standard,
    Rhythm, Latin) at each of the standard levels (Newcomer, Bronze, Silver,
    Gold, Novice, Prechamp, Champ). In addition, we will be using o2cm onsite
    electronic scoring this year which will allow competitors to view callbacks
    and judging marks from any mobile device (via live.o2cm.com). Furthermore,
    we will be using a larger floor than in the past and we have opened up the
    beautiful South Lounge of the Union to the Illini Rooms to provide for more
    space for competitors.

    Alex Tecza and Katja Lindholm (http://masterdancestudio.com/**
    instructors.html <http://masterdancestudio.com/instructors.html>) will
    judge during the day Saturday, perform a showcase in the evening, and teach
    a Smooth workshop on Sunday. They will be joined by special guest Connie
    Paley, who will judge and teach a Standard workshop, and Yuehwern and
    Daniel (http://purdueballroom.org/**coaches.html>),
    who will judge and teach a Latin workshop. All Sunday workshops are free
    for competitors.

    Cost: $40 for student competitors, $50 for non-student competitors,
          $20 for student ($30 for non-student) open-only competitors,
          free for student spectators, $5 for non-student spectators
          (UIUC student competitors are free, funded by SORF)

    may also be paid by check, but must be postmarked on or before October 8 or
    the late fee will be charged at the door. There is no deadline for adding
    events.

    Arrange Housing Early:

    Crash space is available on a first-come first-serve basis by emailing
    didancesportinvitational2013@**gmail.com<didancesportinvitational2013@gmail.com>

    This is a football weekend so the few remaining rooms at local hotels can
    be very expensive. We suggest checking the newly refurbished Urbana
    Landmark Hotel (http://urbanahotel.net/) or staying somewhere slightly out
    of town. Whatever you decide, make your reservations early!

    Workshops on Sunday, October 21:

    9am: Alex and Katja - Smooth:
       "Tango Dynamics"
       Different kinds of slows, how to create a rotational speed in figures
    like progressive link, etc. We will only do bronze figures so it will be
    appropriate for all levels.
    10am: Standard TBA with judge Connie Paley
    11am: Yuehwern and Daniel - Latin:
       “Hypnotic Hips - Creating Body Actions in Latin American Dances”
       The workshop is for all levels.
