Labor Day Weekend September 1st-3rd, 2007
Orange County, CAInspiration Weekend is a dance camp and contest weekend designed to excite and inspire the average social dancer. In addition to the workshops especially designed to get you stoked on your dancing, we are hosting The Southern California Inspiration Cup, a series of contests intended to be accessible to social dancers. We hope that the format and staff for the weekend will forever change the focus of local lindy hop and transition us from a mostly social dance scene into a breeding ground of lindy hoppers motivated by innovation and inspiration.

Exactly. And if you discover that you are average, you can go to the dance camp for inspiration on how to unaveragize yourself.

Dang it! This is tempting me to no end. I need to be back by Monday night though... Gggggrrrrrrrr!! Where there's a will...
This is inspires me for sure!
Thoughts by Naomi Uyama that pushed us to do this weekend event.
"I am a lover of analogies, it can get a little ridiculous, but here is one of my faves. Imagine that all the lindy hoppers out there are people running in a pack. There are all kinds of runners, some faster, some slower. Though they move together they are running for different reasons. Some run like it is a race, they are moving forward to be first, to be faster than others, to win. Others run towards the horizon, a distant, beautiful, point that cannot be reached. They move forward so that we all may move forward, they know the secret lies in the exhilaration of running itself.
So here is the funny thing about "racers". They stare at the backs of the people in front of them and and toil to beat them, but if they ever did pull ahead to the very front of the pack guess what would happen- they would stop dead in their tracks. Their goal would be achieved, they would stop running, the dance would stop moving forward. It is the ones who see the horizon, the runners who are in for the journey and not the destination that will always continue. They feel less the work of it and more the joy in it. Those are the dancers that inspire me."

Less than 2 months till OC's first swing camp! We had intended initially that it would be mostly a local event but surprisingly people are registering from all over the country!
We've extended the $119. Early Bird rate until August 1st because we were out of town and forgot to remind you.
This event will sell out so sign up sooner than later!
