On Friday night, we will be hosting our βBeer Garden Social'' (4:00-6:30PM) on the Atrium level at the hotel. We have done this for a few years now, and it is always super fun. Ben (McHenry) hosts a Tap Takeover at the hotel bar in order to share some beer from the company he works for. There will be tons of fun games for Swingtacularites of all ages. Cash bar with additional beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be open, and the hotel bar/restaurant will have food available if you want snacks or dinner during this time as well.
This year, we wanted to add an opportunity for some Westies to shine. Mr. John Kirkconnell will be our host and Trivia Master, as we set the stage for some of our multi talented community members to hop on the mic and share their art!
We are mainly just curating to make sure that everything is age-appropriate (Swingtacular welcomes Swingtacularites of all ages, and ask all of our acts to plan accordingly, thank you).

Hello Swingtacularites!
Many times, working with the hotel on your room block to make sure that all of your attendees are able to get accommodated can be challenging, but sometimesβ¦ Well, sometimesβ¦ You get really lucky and your hotel has enough vacancy that they just set your room block to βoversellβ, meaning as we continue to boldly expand our block where no Swingtacular block has been beforeβ¦ The hotel will simply continue to add rooms as long as they have them.
This means that the hotel should be able to accommodate any/every Swingtacularite in need, which is great. This also means that for this event, for this year, we donβt need to stress too hard about transferring rooms as opposed to canceling. If you know someone in need of a room, please feel free to transfer, but if you donβt and you want to cancel, you should be able to do so without compromising another Swingtaculariteβs ability to find accommodation.
If you donβt have your room yet, and you need oneβ¦ You should follow this link and get it done:
https://www.dancegeekproductions.art/hotel.html
If you have a room, and need roommates, please feel free to post directly to this page, or even in the comments section here.
Get hype, peopleβ¦. Swingtacular is coming VERY soon, and itβs going to be pretty cool.

LAST DAY Swingtacular PETITIONS TO MOVE UP (Due by July 17th):
Swingtacular Petition Information and Deadlines
NOTE: There are separate forms for petitioning up versus petitioning down.
PETITIONS TO MOVE UP (Due by July 17th):
All petitions to βdance upβ at events that take place after July 1, 2024 must be submitted to the
WSDC Chief Judges Committee (CJC) using this link: www.worldsdc.com/level-up-petition/.
The CJC will review the competitorβs Points Registry record and submitted videos, and reach out to the competitor for any additional information they need to make a decision. Please note that this new process takes time to complete. The CJC will notify the competitor of their decision to approve or deny the petition within three (3) weeks from the date of submission.
Petitions that are approved will allow the dancer to enter that higher-level division for six (6) months at any WSDC event anywhere in the world. Competitors will need to earn at least one point in that higher
division in order to keep dancing at that level after the six months have passed.
PETITIONS TO MOVE DOWN (Due by August 2nd 10PM):
Separate petitions are required to move up a division or move down a division.
βTo move down a division, petitions must be filled out and sent to: [email protected].
Moving down petitions will be due by Friday, August 2nd at 10pm PST to the HJ.
You may register preemptively for a division you are petitioning to dance in, and if your petition is unsuccessful for any reason, we will refund the entry fee back to you. This is so that you can take advantage of the $25 entry fee, prior to it going up to $40 as of August 1st.
