Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2007 1:44 pm
Hello Lindy Hoppers!
Camp Jitterbug 2007 and The Jump Session Show registration is officially open! Here are some summarized details so far, but for more info, go to www.campjitterbug.com
May 25-28th 2007
Seattle, WA
CJ 2007 Locations
All of the Workshop venues this year are located in the heart of Capitol Hill. We have all spacious venues WITH hardwood floors this year within a 5 block radius. Our Friday and Sunday night dances will be located at Knights of Columbus, but we will be strictly limiting general public admission to keep the crowds under control. On Saturday night, we have found a 10,000 sq foot venue for our dance on beautiful Lake Union! There will be plenty of room to dance for EVERYONE and we will have an outdoor social before the dance on the docks at Lake Union!! Late night dances will be located at the Washington Dance Club as usual.
CJ 2007 Instructors
We are still in the process of finalizing our instructor line-up for this year, but as always, we will have incredible instructors that are cutting edge and represent the spirit of Lindy Hop!
CJ Evening Event Band
We are SOOOO excited to announce that this year, we will feature the very sought after, The Feetwarmers of Los Angeles!!!! Featuring Josh Collazzo, this band is one of the swing scene’s favorite bands to Lindy Hop to. We are so lucky to have booked them this Memorial Day weekend.
New format for workshops!
We are excited about our new format this year and we got the idea because of all of your input. During the first half of the day, you will be split into 4 levels: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced and Masters with an Elective option as well. You will be with your group for the first 2 hours of the day, however, there will be an elective option if you prefer. The second half of the day will be all electives as usual at CJ. This will help build camaraderie and help you meet other dancers and will give you a chance to have two quality hours with top instructors so you can have the material build on itself rather than bouncing around the entire day.
The Jump Session Show
This year, the JS Show will be located in a theatre with a stage so EVERYONE can see and have a comfortable seat. Half of all proceeds will be donated to a wonderful nonprofit organization that helps kids…Snohomish County Campfire Boys & Girls. Please note, that the all weekend pass does not include the Jump Session show ticket!! This is a benefit and will be sold separately.
Pricing for CJ
This year, the CJ prices will be all inclusive, thus why they are a little higher, however, your total cost is less expensive! Your CJ weekend pass will include ALL workshops, ALL lectures, and ALL dances. Campers will be guaranteed into all events and all you will need to do is show your wristband at the door. As always, we provide a $20 discount for SSC and OC Swing Club members, as well as a $20 discount for anyone who is traveling internationally, or from Hawaii or Alaska to get to CJ.

Housing
We have our preferred CJ rate at the Silver Cloud Hotel…VERY convenient and reasonably priced, but the rooms will sell out fast so book yours soon. We also have our wonderful housing coordinator Max who will help you find housing with friendly Seattle Lindy Hoppers. Contact Max FAR in advance to ensure housing…it is not guaranteed!
