Filling up

Filed at July 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment

It seems we will have a big party! We have received over 400 registrations from Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Ukraine.

It is sad that we have many followers on waiting list. As these lists move slowly we soon send out the “you are on waiting list” messages. However recently registrations are more even in the last week so at least queues are not get bigger. Still you should register with a pair if you want to get in.

Last year we were closing down registration reaching these numbers. Luckily we could get a bigger place so we still have spaces. Till now we confirmed anyone (with pair) no matter what level he / she has chosen. Now we see how big levels we should have so we set the limits for them. Intermediate and Intermediate-advanced levels are getting closer to be full. So if you are interested about these levels it is time to sign up!

Wait? Will we have enough teachers? No - however we planned like this. As we get some more registrations we will invite more teachers. Who? We will ask you! So you can have an effect on the teachers’ line-up of Lindy Shock 2009!  Do we have any ideas? Yes - like Andrew Sutton, Anne-Helene Cavasa, Joseph & Trisha, Juan & Sharon, Kevin & Emily, Mike Faltesek & Casey Schneider, Vincenzo & Isa, Zack & Carla. Note that we did not asked them whether they are free (however we know that some teachers are not like Sakarias & Frida that is why you can’t find them on this list). If you can’t find your favourite just drop a comment. So you might get a mail about asking who should join us.

Invitation only level

Filed at June 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment

This year we announced a special way to set the invitational only level. Some dancers said that they do not like it. So we asked all the dancers who wanna be there.
We described 4 different way of possible way to select people for this level. Seemed we were well prepared :) Well in the few responses we got in this short time we found many more possibilities :) We can sum up these letter: everybody like a different method.
We wait some days and we make a big brain-storming session and tell you the truth!

About registration & confirmation: people register in an even tempo. Luckily the leader follower ratio is also close to even, and we could confirm a few followers from the not announced waiting list.
Also confirmed dancers started to pay - that is very nice! Thank you - we need it to pay for the boat!

Sent out…

…confirmations that were possible.
Means that we sent out confirmation for everybody that we could provide space - the way levels stay even.
Now what? We do not want to send out “waiting list” e-mails for a while. As fast registrations drop in we can move people on continuously.
However we desperately need more leaders! And if you want to get in, get a leader or team - that means also we still have spaces at each level!

More about the registration

Filed at June 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Soon we have the registration open for a week. Result? 300 registration from 22 countries!
Some remarks:
- today we sent out some more confirmation - currently we have confirmed a bit more than half of the requests. Important: we do not process them in time line, we started with team people & pairs.
- we had some e-mail problems. Means that you e-mail had some confusing content (like not working link, empty message). Hopefully we solved all the issues. What is important: no registration information is damaged!
- if you register with a pair please have a separate registration for your partner as well. We will confirm both your and your partner’s registration together - when we receive both of them.

Confirmations

Filed at June 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment

We started to send out confirmation e-mails. There are around 100 dancers out there who are as happy as the guys on this picture! 100 seems a big number. However compared to the close to 300 registrations we received it shows that we are far away to finish this job. It might take a week to send out all the feedback. We start we people coming with pairs and people coming with a team.

What does the confirmation says?

• We have space for you in the camp!
• You can book airplane & book accommodation
• If you wanna go to invited level the confirmation is not about your level. We will send out different confirmation for your level. So you can come to the camp and you will end up on invited or advanced level. You can wait for this answer and just pay after you receive the result (so if you are not interested in advanced you can cancel). Will have more info on this later.
• If you wanna be a team member the confirmation is not about this either. You will be accepted or refused by the team leader. We will send out different confirmation about the result.
• And you have to pay for the camp (unless you have an other agreement)

Until we process the registration we are happy to receive new ones. We still have spaces. However probably you have the last chance to get in if you are a follower without a pair or team - as we have way more follower registrations.

Coming outside EU

Filed at June 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Some news: there “some” countries where you have to get a VISA in order to visit an EU country. It takes a while. And you could be refused. So if you are coming from such a country and you do not have a valid VISA till Lindy Shock you do not have to pay till 31th August.
We help you get the VISA like writing and sending invitation. However you have time only till 31th August!
In case you need VISA we would like to ask you to get someone from your city / county who manage it so we can make the invitation for a group of people.

Status report

One day has passed since the registration is open. What happened?
Seems the registration works fine. We have amazin’ number of request. We are getting close to have 200 participant. That is crazy. 10 times faster than last year. And we do not have 10 times more place. So the camp might sell out this year as well. Do not hesitate.
By the way: Russia leads Slovenia chasing them. Seems the Hungarian dancers just slept over the start :)
As usual we have more followers amongst the registered people. Try to get some leaders. Leaders: we have many beautiful & nice followers who are great dancers - waiting for your registration! Do not make them wait!
We added the accommodation page so you can book accommodation as well.
We will start conforming registration request tonight.

Are you ready?

Hope so.
Because we are ready! Based on the feedback there will be a big registration rush tomorrow morning.
We uploaded some more information and refreshed some pages - like Classes, Rules. And also all week we tested & polished the registration pages.
And one more “small” thing. We uploaded the TRAILER - check it out now!

We asked our fortune-teller…
