A bit of background...
From Maroochytourism.com

In 2009 we changed our regular danceCamp into a new-format mini-dance weekender party event and everyone loved it! So, yep - it's happening again this year.

How will this style of event benefit you?
You'll be much more in control of how much, or how little you spend!
"escapeWeekender" 2010 allows you to find the level of accommodation that suits, as well as choose the number of workshops you attend and the type and number of meals you choose to share with us. We'll still cater for people with little and lots of dance experience and there will be ample time to soak up the sun!

At the glorious Sunshine Coast.
Our escapeWeekender is only 100km from Brisbane CBD (1hr 15mins) and 175km (under 2hrs) from Surfers Paradise.

What's included in the escapeWeekender?
The escapeWeekender will cater for everyone including our new beginners!

So what's included...
  • 18 Modern Jive Workshops on offer
    plus
  • Saturday Night Dance Party
  • The first session of the escape combined routine will be on Sun afternoon.

What's not included?
  • Meals
  • Accommodation

Plus, depending on your budget you might like to do some other activites in the area:
  • Beach/Swimming/Surfing
  • Parachuting

And, particularly if you're joining us from interstate or overseas, you might also take the
opportunity to include an extra day or two to visit to a variety of other attractions on
or near the Sunshine Coast (North of Brisbane).
Or visit the Gold Coast (South of Bris): Gold Coast, Sea World, Movie World, Dreamworld.
