ALHC UPDATES

This year our Thursday night party will be off site at the Thirsty Turtle. So come with your voice ready. Karaoke is from 6 to 9pm. They have a top 40s DJ who will pay swing. If you'd lie a dedicated room for swing speak now or forever hold your peace.

You can now register for the Advanced Jack and Jill online.

The 2008 Competition Rules are online. In short though couples' choreography divisions ask that you dance from  or 3 minutes, the Team Division asks for a minimum of 4 couples dancing for 3 to four minutes. We have Classic and Showcase again along with the Advanced and Champions' Strictly Balboa Divisions. Enter Strictly Lindy early. We already have entrants and it's always the division that closes first. Remember division need a minimum of 3 couples to run, 5 couples to award prize money. ALHC gives out $20,000 in prizes and cash awards.

There will be no regional contests for the 2008 American Showcase Division. Contestants should be prepared to come directly to ALHC to compete on Friday, October 24, 2008.
