The lindy hop/ swing dance community has 2 kinds of events.
Dance Camps and Exchanges.

Dance Camp - lots of teaching, every one gets paid, (organsers and teachers), some people work for a free ticket, I go to these to get better at dancing, can be fun and challenging, are more expensive (£150-200).

Exchange - organised for the community, no one gets paid (except the bands, who are not part of the community), possibly the organising team will get a free ticket or t-shirt, not for profit, great fun and cheap. (£25-50).

Both are good. :D


I think its been very interesting following this conversation. Both sides have pretty valid points. I really hope that the prop/flow community at large can grow big and strong enough (And be willing!) to support BOTH of these kinds of events.

I agree with Sennyo. And, as Robbert mentioned, if there were MOM workshops or the like ( eg Elsie's Choose your Illusion workshop that happened last year etc) happening I would pay good money and expect training level teaching, that would really push my practice forward. Convention workshops are a great intro. If they had a CJ masterclass at BJC I would pay extra. However every convention workshop I have been to I have not learned anything new.

This is a hint that I am looking for said 'megaworkshops' that I can pay to learn more intense stuff. LOL! :D So if anyone wants to put together a MOM session- I'm in.

That said- the amount of workshops being offered this year at the BJC is amazing and I'm truly looking forward to it, there's such a great sense of fun in the BJC community. It's going to be great.
