"Alyssa and I had a great Thanksgiving weekend. The hotel was all we hoped
it would be, and the event was a lot of fun. We only went to the late night
dance socials and the luau, but that was enough for us. We truly enjoyed the
facilities and the Ft. Lauderdale area -- great restaurants and shopping.
We didn't realize the amount of art galleries there were. The weather was
sunny enough to get a nice tan. You know how to throw an event. We have been
complaining to other event planners for years about their pick of hotels.
They should take a lesson from you. Yes, we love the dancing, but we also
consider these events as vacations, and we expect to stay at quality hotels.
Thank you for providing this for us. This is what brings people back. We
are looking forward to the the next Kim Bass event. Take care."

"...I was just at the event...with the line dancers - and had to write
and tell you what a GREAT experience I had. I wasn't too sure how the
weekend was going to be when we arrived Thursday. We went to the open
dancing at 9 and it was mostly swing – and the DJ was obviously with the
swing dancers. But he did a great job of playing music we could all
dance to. Then Zack brought his stick and they played a great mix. When
I heard there were only around 50 or so pre paid line dancers, I wasn't
sure how it would turn out. Well, it was so fabulous!! It was much more
personalized than some of the other workshops we usually attend, and
when it came to the open dancing – ALL of our requests were played and we
danced ALL night long. My feet are still recovering!!! The choreographers
were great – the classes were great – and then to top it off the party
outside after was the icing on the cake. What a great way to end a great
weekend. The hotel was elegant. So, I would look forward to next year.
Thanks again for all your hard work putting it together. Sincerely, "

"This was the first time that I've attended this event and what a
blast. Held on the U.S. thanksgiving weekend at the Harbor Beach
Marriott Resort (right on the beach) in Ft. Lauderdale the weather
was in the 80's......suntaning, relaxing by the pool or ocean and
dancing.....what a combination. This event had a fantastic Sunday
after-party "Luau" that was so much fun. We even managed to get in a
WCS flash-mob. A great Saturday evening show, UCWDC competition as
well as Strictly Swing and Jack and Jill competitions and classes in
linedance, WCS, ECS, Salsa, Nightclub, Hustle, 2-step.....absolutely
something for everyone. Congratulations to Zac Detweiller (Linedance
Coordinator) who DJ'd the combined Linedance and Swing room while the
Saturday evening show was on and kept all the dancers rockin'. The
friendly vibe between linedancers and couples was great to see. This
is one event I highly recommend..."
