All Star line up of Instructors and Choreographers. In addition on Tuesday, one of our
ball rooms will be dedicated to teaches of Classic Dances. Registration will begin at noon;
Specialty Technique Workshops, Basic Beginner Fundamentals, and Classic Dance workshops
will begin at 1 pm on Tuesday. Workshops will begin at 10 am everyday after that. We will also
have a "Welcome to Vegas" evening dance beginning at 8:00 pm.
 
 
Also new this year: "Fast Pass" - limited to the first 200 people who purchase this pass 
in addition to their regular Gold or Platinum Pass! Fast Pass will allow those dancers early
entry to our designated "Evening Show" ball room before other dancers.
Our "Evening Show" ball room will have stadium seating to accommodate all 1500 dancers.
Please Note: Fast Pass holders WILL NOT be permitted to save seats for anyone! We will have 2 doors to our ball room which will open simultaneously allowing Fast Pass Dancers first entry. All evening shows and performances will begin at 8:30 pm and conclude before 9:00 pm.
 
 
There will be a total of 5 different ballrooms running simultaneously during the day,
with open dancing being offered throughout the day in our Line Dance Lobby!
Workshops will be repeated during the course of the event in order to allow you to catch
a workshop you might have missed or to reinforce the lesson you may have already taken.
One of our ballrooms will be solely dedicated to Beginner thru High Beginner Dances.
That same ballroom will be designated each evening as our Beginner Dance Ballroom.
 
 
For added fun and excitement we will have "theme nights" for our evening dances! 
It is not mandatory for you to dress in costume but it sure is alot of fun!! Be as creative as you want!!
Keep in mind that there will be loads of sales on Halloween costumes after October 31st!
 
 
THURSDAY Night - Back by popular demand: INTERNATIONAL NIGHT:
Show your pride for your heritage by dressing in a style typical to the country
of your origin! Be part of the International Parade and see how many countries and States are represented!
 
 
FRIDAY Night - THE ROARING 20'S : It's the era of flappers, gangsters, jazz music, prohibition, and the Charleston! Moonshine anyone??
 
 
SATURDAY Night - EGYPTIAN NIGHT : Recreate a long-ago world of Pharaohs, The Queen of the Nile, King Tut, Cleopatra and Alexander the Great...all you need is your imagination! Be ready to be transported back to the century of pyramids and temples when Roy Verdonk, his dancers and your very talented Instructors, take you on a magic carpet ride Saturday Night!
 
SUNDAY Night - ELVIS IS IN THE BUILDING - Our Sunday night Farewell Dance and Show;
your Instructors, Choreographers, Roy Verdonk and his dancers will entertain you one last time
with a spectacular tribute performance to the King of Rock and Roll : Elvis Presley.
What could be more fitting than to bring the memory of Elvis back to life at the very hotel where
he performed 600 record-breaking, sold out shows between 1969 and 1976! This year marks the
47th anniversary of Elvis launching his comeback to Las Vegas, performing at the Westgate,
then called the International Hotel, in July 1969.
 
 
FLASH MOBS - We have FILLED the Riviera Hotel lobby and the Westgate lobby last year with our flash mobs! We aim to fill the Westgate lobby again! There will be two flash mobs : a beginner and an intermediate dance. We are currently taking your suggestions for dances - please email them to us at Bona...@aol.com.
We will have workshops scheduled for these dances so that everyone can participate!
The Flash Mobs will take place Friday and Saturday at 1:15 during the lunch break.
 
 
SUNDAY MORNING - LINE DANCE PRAISE AND WORSHIP - A wonderful way to start your morning on the last day of the event, giving thanks and praising Him through scripture and DANCE!
 
ADDITIONAL INFO ABOUT OUR HOST HOTEL, THE WESTGATE RESORT AND CASINO:
There will be NO Resort Fee added to all rooms booked through our Vegas Dance Explosion (VDE) Room Block.
There will be NO additional charge for Wi-fi for registered VDE
dancers.
