Please note on early versions of Form H the P1A, P1B and P1C package pricing on the top line are the correct prices, not the prices in the lower left box.

Thank you!

We had such a fantastic time with all of our dancing friends and family. From all the wonderful teachers and students, kids, amateurs and pros that danced, through to our incredibly hard working judges, staff and volunteers.

During the first Bash we have laughed hard, been inspired by great dancing and partied every night till the sun came up.

Top Teacher - As a boost to help put the top prizes firmly within your reach, we lowered the bar for you (because it's harder to jump on sand). We reduced the first and second place required number of entries for the bonus (down from 325 and 150) and balanced it out through bumping up the bonus lower level entries requirement slightly.

Also Great News for Top Teacher contestants. Louis Bar and David Alvarez will not be able to make it to the comp this year, see organi
