Calendar Event: May 23, 2008 - May 26, 2008
Hello fellow dancers!

We have some great news about Camp Jitterbug & The Jump Session Show 2008...our 8th year of Camp Jitterbug!!!!

CHECK OUT OUR NEW WEB PAGE at campjitterbug.com!
We have redesigned the Camp Jitterbug & Jump Session Show web page. Not only is the design fabulous, it is easier to navigate and the registration process is seamless. It features a shopping cart where you can sign up & pay for the camp, Jump Session tickets, competitions and merchandise. Please check it out at www.campjitterbug.com and have fun exploring. All of the info is up to date for 2008's camp...more info is still to come, so be sure to check it out regularly. Our web designer and logo design was done by one of our fellow dancers from Honolulu, Brent Keane at Indevtech.com. He is also our photographer...a talented and reliable person that I highly recommend.

I love this event. I plan on going again this year. If you can fit it in the budget, I highly recommend making the trip. AND we can visit MARY!!

Yes, we can all crash on the floor of the apartment which I do not have yet. I will obtain plenty of beds for all!

Also, if you get your plane tickets ahead of time a round trip plane ride from Des Moines to Seattle is about $200.

I call a spot at Mary's!

We would love to go to everything this year, but not sure we can make this one. Work seems to put a damper on my dancing lately. Trying to resolve the situation, maybe we will be able to work it out. We'll just have to wait and see.
