Will you be one of them?And now, English to Russian to Korean to German to French to Chinese to English: (I had to clean it up slightly, but nevertheless, these are all actual Babel Fish translations from these languages.)ILHC' s aims today is to represent [the] cave spirit of the international dance of rocking in the most modern community of Lindy Jump.&#160; &#160;It's February bay, and we already pulled at this year, high from rising&#160; swimming pools of the dancer’s crowd from the snow which towered has swept clear the Ontario mountain, picturesque medieval rural locality Prague, and a house of slender Viking families, Stockholm.&#160; At this year also, the old friends saying will be &#34;a belt's unbelievable alliance; righteous&#34; and “blows top.” They have many “cats,&#34; like Jonathan Fierce Black Beer, which “Oscillates with its rockers on,” and The Boiler Manufacture Persons, whom “Back-ups you hot.&#34;&#160; There' s more competitions [that] possibly also vibrate the stick compared to you, filled with dancers having long times in their lives.&#160; Whether you will be in them one?

Evaluations will be on Friday at 10:00pm during the evening dance.&#160; If you are unable to attend this and are registering for the advanced track, please contact us to make alternate arrangements (just hit reply!).&#160; Housing:You MUST register by February 28th if you need housing.&#160; We cannot guarantee housing beyond this date!&#160; If you are able to provide housing, please include this information with your registration.&#160; If you aren't attending, but can still house people, please fill out the housing form at http://www.pirateswing.com/housing.phtml&#160; Dances:The Friday evening dance venue has been upgraded!&#160; We have gone from a 1450sq foot dance floor to a 3000sq foot floor!&#160; This willbe one of the first dances on the new floor, which officially opens on March 1st.&#160; DJs are listed at http://www.pirateswing.com/music.phtml---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That's all for the business side of things.&#160; We now want to take a moment to mention some things that are important to us as organizers.Planning for Pirate Swing began 7 months ago.&#160; We surveyed local and regional dancers to see what they wanted in a workshop, and the results greatly influenced the design of Pirate Swing.&#160; The electives, the lindy/blues focus, office hours, and even the long Saturday lunch hour were all direct results of that survey.&#160; We have worked with all of our instructors to make sure that the classes in each track fit together like a puzzle, so at the end of the weekend you walk out with a picture, and not just a jumble of pieces. This weekend is about social dancing and having a lot of fun.&#160; We really look forward to seeing everyone!Your Pirate Swing Crewwww.pirateswing.com
