PALM SPRINGS 2022

 PALM SPRINGS 2022



3 years in the making! An all-star line-up released in 2019 for the inagural event scheduled for June, 2020…. then 2021…. and now, FINALLY, May 2022! The line-up had a few changes but still spectacular! The original hotel changed to the Margaritaville Resort! The dates moved from June to May. This first-time event still delivered! 


I want to share my thanks to Mark and Eve, all the staff and volunteers, and the fabulous instructors/choreographers/and dj’s! Your hard work and seamless efforts are appreciated!


So much dancing packed in to just a few short days - I liked everything I took! Friday: Running Polka (JP Madge); Let’s Make Some Bubbles (Niels Poulsen); Clang Clang (taught by Jill Babinec); Shake It Like That (Jonno Liberman). Saturday: Lady Domina (Jonas Dahlgren); Kissing Boys (Guillaume Richard); Legends Never Die (Guillaume Richard); Life is A Mystery (Jonas Dahlgren); Blinded By Beauty (Niels Poulsen). Sunday: Unleash The Power (Roy & Fiona); Better As One (Darren Bailey). All to be taught in the near future to one class or another!


We arrived in Palm Springs a day early and played tourist (took the aerial tram and hiked around the top of Mt. San Jacinto); stayed an extra day and played tourist again (spent the day at the Joshua Tree National Park and had dinner at Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown). Flights in and out went off without any glitches (not that all of them went that way!) and overall the experience was wonderful! Looking forward to the opportunity to attend this event again in the future!
