To get tickets to the National Ballroom Championships at BYU the weekend of March 12-14, 2009, there are a couple of different ways to do it. You can CALL the Marriott Center ticket office and purchase them over the phone, OR you can buy ONLINE at BYUtickets.com. You can look at the specific schedule of events by going to www.byunationals.com , and click on the link that says Tickets and Schedule. Click where is says 2009 Schedule of Events.
This is an AMAZING opportunity for the dancers to be able to see serious competitive ballroom dancing with some of the best dancers in the world at a VERY reasonable cost. The listed prices are good for the entire day. They will stamp you and you can come and go as you please. I would recommend attending as much as you have time for, but Saturday evening in particular is a DO NOT MISS! I would recommend getting there in plenty of time because the best seats get packed, as well as parking.
Carpool with classmates and make a fun day our of it! I will be sitting at the table seats on the floor both Friday evening and Saturday, so feel free to come chat with me and tell me what you think!
I would also recommend wearing at least "dressy casual". Ballroom is a very different crowd!! I would love to see many of you competing at this competition next year, so please come see what it is all about!!
Thanks,
Carrie
