Social Dancing
There will be plenty of social dancing throughout the weekend. We are striving to have most competitions done by 10:00 pm so BOTH ballrooms will be free for social dancing. There will always be one ballroom dedicated to social dancing (at night) if the other has a competition going on.
Special Dance Contests
The Orange Blossom Dance Festival is proud to be the first event in Florida that was registered with the World Swing Dance Council. So that means POINTS!
