Don't miss the opportunity to dance to their energetic calling as well as brush up your next level at Saturday morning workshops.

Costume Parade

As always, we will have a costume parade on Saturday night. Start planning your costume now and enter the contest.

Just imagine all the wonderful possibilities for the "Schi-Fi Swing By" theme. Spacemen, aliens, and R2D2. Go wild with your imagination!

Pool Tip

Yes, there is an indoor heated pool at the hotel and we are planning a late night pool tip on Saturday. Bring your bathing suit and join in the fun!

We are returning to DoubleTree by Hilton Fort Lee, which is located just west of George Washington Bridge across the Hudson River from Manhattan.

For those driving to the hotel, there is plenty of free parking with both multi-story structure and open air lot available.
