UCWDC Dance Order
We will be debuting the new UCWDC dance order in the hopes that this will eliminate some costume changes and some stress. Of course you can still change costumes for every dance if you like. Our changing rooms are huge (4 times the size of normal dressing areas) so you will be able to spread out and social distance. ProAm Order Couples/Linedance Mixed Order Waltz Waltz Night Club Rise & Fall Triple Two Night Club West Coast Swing Pulse Two Step Triple Two Cha Cha Smooth Polka West Coast Swing East Coast Swing Two Step Cuban Cha Cha Street Polka Stage East Coast Swing Dance Critiques
We will have a dedicated 6th judge on the panel, just to give feedback. Learn what the judges actually see while you are on the floor. Due to social distancing we will have smaller heats so a perfect time for judges to be able to dedicate more time and give you some individual feedback. Book your critiques through country dance Director. $10 per dance or $40 for a session. Order: "Full Program" just once even if you are dancing multiple age categories in the same genre. (we will pick the appropriate division to critique during heating)Order: "Full Program" A second/third time for each additional genre that you are dancing for an overall placement. Couples, Line, Classic, Showcase Order: "Single Dance" if you are just dancing a single Twostep or any single dance such as a Spotlight Routine or Team dance. (If you order "Full Program" just once but are dancing multiple genres. You will be able to specify at registration which genre you want to receive the feedback in.) Spectators We are allowing spectators. You can buy a spectator pass at the door for each session. $15 per person, per session. Congress Avenue Bats Join us Thursday evening for a bat viewing. Congress Avenue Bridge has the largest bat colony in North America the bats emerge from the bridge at dusk. We will take a short walk (15-20mins) from the hotel to the bridge and wait for them to emerge. Then we will walk back or you can explore and make your own way back to the hotel. WHERE: Meet in Austin Hilton Lobby at the media wall DATE: Thursday 13th May TIME: 7:15pm, we will leave 7:30pm WHO: Everyone is welcome! NEED: You don't need anything but comfy shoes to walk. PRICE: Nature costs nothing! Social Dancing We will have social dancing both Friday and Saturday evening. We have a large dance floor so use your own caution to stay distanced from others. Remember some people may only be dancing with their significant other or small friend group so try to distance and don't be offended if someone turns you down for a dance. Video Passes We will not have a professional video service. We welcome you to video on your own devices as much as you like, Free of Charge! Vendors
