The Eleventh Intercontinental Intercollegiate/Adult Dancesport Festival is
coming up this January. I have an offer from USABDA to accept up to 10
student volunteers to help with the camp in exchange for $100 off for your
trip.
I spoke with Phyllis Bennet she said that the Volunteers who helped would
put in under 24 hours of work over the course of the week and that the
jobs you would do are mostly setup and take down, so it should not
interfere with any workshops that you wish to attend.
This is a great opportunity to participate in an excellent camp with some
of the best instructors. It is a week long of dancing workshops and
privates in Orlando, FL.
Anyway, I am going to be organizing the trip for the Dancing Illini. I
need to get head counts soon so I can look into airfare (unless we want to
drive).
The scuedule of events is toward the bottom. This is a condensed version.
I need to know who is going ASAP and who wants to volunteer even more
ASAP.
