Candy sends this information:

If you are looking for something different for this Valentine weekend, maybe you should come by the Presidents’ Day West Coast Swing (WCS) Convention, right here in downtown Sacramento. Information are attached below.

Some of you have asked me if I will be dancing there. Yes, I will definitely be on the floor during all the open dancing time in between/before/after the competitions. However, I won’t be dancing in the events that I have suggested below because they are too advance for me.

Here is video that may spark you interest: the 2008 routine of one of best WCS couples (if not THE Best) in the States (Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollmann), and they will be dancing here this weekend.

Here is more information:

Seventeenth Annual Presidents' Day Weekend Convention

How much?
"We have spectator passes for those who do not dance. They sit on the stage, not at a table. Last year $15.00 for 3 -4 hours during competitions [per day, per person]"

*If you are planning to dance, let me know and I will send you additional pricing info for dancers.

Notes:

1. Jr Routines are performed by dancers who are up to age 18.

2. Master dancers must be at least 50 years of age.

3. J&J = Jack and Jill, you get a random partner in a competition. A true test of leading and following skills

4. Champions Invitational J&J- competitions for some of the best WCS dancers you can find in the country. Not much of a J&J because they all know each other :D
