Pirate Swing in Ann Arbor, MI

Arrr!

Pirate Swing starts tomorrow! Here's some last minute stuff for those who are coming or still being indecisive.

Tracks Available:

We still have room in the Intermediate Track and the Tandem Charleston Elective, and at the Friday night blues lesson. There's also still room at all the dances. However, we've had so many registrations that the Begintermediate and Advanced tracks are full, as well as the Begintermediate Charleston and Rethink Your Dancing electives.
Go to the Registration page for the prices of everything that's still available.

Costume Contest

The costume contest is at the Saturday Late night! You are more than welcome to be piratey during the rest of the weekend too, but the Late Night is our official "dress up and be silly" event. We WILL have prizes for the winners, but we're not telling what they are yet!

Directions

The Friday Night Dance will be held at 4531 Concourse Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108. This building also houses the headquarters of Gretchen's House Child Care, so if you see that you know you're in the right place. We plan to have signs or piratey things to mark the way. For directions, go to http://tinyurl.com/ye7r8dd .

Weather

We tried to order sunshine, but the weather this weekend looks to be around 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit with a pretty good chance of rain. Bring something warm and maybe an umbrella.

Happy Dancing!

Advanced track is FULL! I'm afraid we have no additional room in our advanced track. All those currently on the waiting list will get to audition. The begintermediate track has 2 spots left for leads, and is full for follows. The intermediate track has plenty of room, so there is still time to sign up!
