Author: revbones :: Posted: Tue 03/09/10 7:47 am
EBC is gearing up early this year!

EBC 2010 will be Nov 4-7, 2010

In order to save you money in what may be a rough year economically for a lot of people, we're opening registration early this year.

What do you get in exchange for registering early?
Well how about $65 off the final EBC price for the first 50 people?

That good enough for you? Besides, registering early is the next best thing to being cool, and you know you want to be cool, or a close approximation of cool. So get over to http://www.ibalboa.com and register today!

What's new with EBC this year? Man, oh man, where to begin?
• EBC is 4 days this year!!! Kicking things off Thurs night and going through Sun night!
• 19 confirmed instructors and we will be adding more! This gives you the most choices for main instructors over any other Balboa event!
• Fri classes! That's right, be sure to come in early and catch the dance Thurs night and classes Fri!
• Burlesque classes! We're bringing in the ladies from Bootstraps Burlesque to offer 2 introductory free Burlesque classes! Burlesque 101 and Fans and/or Boas!
• New Amateur division
• Competition classes where amateurs can get immediate feedback in a controlled environment.
• Music by The Boilermaker Jazz Band and the Atomic Rhythm All-Stars
• Adding another room for classes for extra space
• Soul/Funk room downstairs
• Post-Halloween costume contest - streamlined from last year, still with cash prizes
• More volunteer opportunities if you cannot afford the full price of the weekend

Author: whiskers :: Posted: Mon 03/08/10 8:02 pm
It's my pleasure to announce that registration is open for the 2010 Beantown Camp!

Beantown is designed to be an all-inclusive vacation - a complete dance immersion. It's truly amazing what a week can do for your dancing and your spirit! There are multiple options, from weekend to the whole shebang, all of which offer you the unique experience that Beantown has to offer.

This is Beantown's 14th year and we're already feeling the positive energy. Here are some changes/additions for 2010:
* New additions to the always amazing staff.
* New additions to our live music line-up.
* An expansion on the mini-track concept with optional classes grouped into focused topics.
* The Show - our most exciting addition! On Sunday evening our incredibly talented instructors will be performing in the beautiful new Rose Performance Hall. This will be included with ALL registration packages.

And, until March 29th, there is a special early bird discount for the week long (Whole Shebang) package, be sure to check it out!

Visit our new website - http://www.beantowncamp.com - to discover what Beantown has to offer. More information to come!
