Advertising in the Program ... Don't Forget.       

I am working on the program now, even though the deadline is July 7th for entries.  I figured with 2 categories FULL I was safe to start.  So Contestants, please get your photos and bios in as soon as you can.  You can email them, if you want, to janie@wigglesofthewestlv.com

Don't forget to advertise.  This is a fantastic oppurtunity for you to get the word out about you, your business, or whatever.  We will have attendees from 17 states and Canada!!  Our rates are very reasonable.  In fact, they are the same rates we had back in 2007!!  Many of your fellow Belly Dancers Have already purchased their ads!  We have sold 14 full pages, 3 quarter pages, and 1 directory listing.  Whoo Hoo!

A Few Things to Remember at Wiggles of the West       

When planning your time at Wiggles of the West, there are a few things we need to inform you about. 

First, It would be good to pack a reusable water bottle.  I think I'm going to jazz mine up with rhinestones or something, so I know it is mine.  Why?  Sam's Town has a rule about no outside food or drink in the convention room.  The reason behind this is that they have lots of 'leased' restaurants.  So we will have water stations in the convention area so you can get a drink or fill your water battles. 

During the competition we will have a bar, where you can buy beverages: coffee, soda, tea, wine, and beer.  No hard liquer.  Why no hard liquer?  It requires a special license for us as event sponsors ... with a rather hefty fee.

You are welcome to keep food in your room or car.  You just can't bring it into the convention area.  If you want to grab something from Dunkin' Donuts, Panda Express, or one of the other restaurants in Sam's Town -- you need to eat it outside the convention area.

Are you a Starbucks addict?  Sorry no Starbucks, but they do have a cute little coffee place in The Mystic Park not far from Hotel check in.  The closest Starbucks I know of is a few blocks away at Desert Inn & Boulder Highway.

Forget Something? there is a well stocked Gift Shop in Mystic Park.  Need something more.  Walmart is across Boulder Highway.

Flying in, but not renting a car?  Showtime Shuttle 702-261-6100 runs a shuttle to and from the airport.  $22 one way or you can buy a round trip ticket for $38.  Sam's Town does have a shuttle bus that will take you to Downtown or The Strip.

Any questions can be sent to me at janie@wigglesofthewest.com or you can ask in the Forums right here on our site.  We will try to answer all questions within a timely manner.

Hobbyist is our new category!!       

Yes, it is true, after a big meeting this weekend in Las Vegas we added a NEW category.  We have long needed an inbetween category that would fill in the space between Rising Star and Entertainer.  Hobbyist is for those of us who just love to dance. 

The requirements are 4 or more years experience. You can not perform for money on a regular basis, advertise as a professional, or be a teacher. This category is for Non-professionals. Belly Dance music only.  You can be retired from teaching or performing.

I am an example of a Hobbyist.  I have lots of experience dancing.  I haven't taught a dance class in years.  But still love to perform at Haflas and such. 

The benifits are the fun of competiting, the great feedback you get from our judges, and you get to share your dance.
