30 Second Showcase
| When: | Saturday Night, 10:45pm at the Woman’s Club of Orange |

In an attempt to make serious competition more accessible to social dancers we are hosting The 30 Second Showcase. A showcase competition is when a couple performs a routine to a song of their choice. So find a partner and create a jammin’ 30 – 45 second routine of your favorite lindy hop. You will find that it goes very quickly. You will showcase it in front of everyone at the dance! You can either edit your music or plan a fade at 30 – 45 seconds. Email your music to DJ@inspirationweekend.com by 5pm Saturday March 2nd, 2013.

“Make Frankie Proud” Trick Contest

We replaced Team Battle with the “Make Frankie Proud” Trick Contest on Sunday Night.
- This is a 4 “eight count” phrase battle where you and your partner will dance in, do a trick, and dance out.
- You will be judged on the timing in and out of the trick more than the trick it self. You will get 3 outs.
- It’s free with a $100 cash prize for 1st place.
- You no longer will represent a team, so compete only as a couple.
- Help the organizers out by letting us know you plan to do it. We will pencil you in. Email sheshazam@gmail.com
