Bring a lock – the center will allow us to leave locks on the lockers near the dance for the duration of the weekend and we are allowed to leave items in lockers overnight. Please lock up your valuables in either a locker or your car, as we share this space with other groups and Big Scioty cannot be responsible for possessions.
“Dress like a Snowflake” is on Sunday (optional!) – All dancers are invited to dress in their snowiest attire on Sunday! No special reason – just a local tradition that grew.
Bring items for the clothing exchange – bring any gently used dancing clothes and exchange for new-to-you items.
