Join us for Mardi Gras in November

MAGNOLIA DANCESPORT CHALLENGE (MDSC) 2012 is a two-day ballroom competition that focuses on creating a fun, supportive and quality experience appropriate for newcomers to advanced dancers.  
Ballroom dance is an ultimate expression of elegance and presentation. You’ll also find that our hotel, personal service and event presentations will meet and exceed your expectations. You’ll revel in the joy of our overall ‘Mardi Gras in November’ theme and activities, the exuberance and overwhelming support in the ballroom during competition, the exciting performances at Showtime and, bringing our event to a jubilant close, Parti-Gras!  ‘the After-Party to write home about’.

We look forward to showing you a great dancing time in the magical city of New Orleans, November 9th and 10th, 2012. If you wish to extend your stay in this glorious city, take a look at the site created for us by the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau at http://www.neworleanscvb.com/mdsc2012/. There you'll find tips to attractions, free things to do and phone apps for discounts on tours, restaurants, galleries and more.

Contact us if you have any questions at all.

Your hosts,
Kelly Vuyovich and Scott Lappin
