Monaco DanceSport Festival
28-30 November 2008
Salle du Canton, Monaco.
Dear DanceSport Colleagues and Friends,
I am delighted to let you know about the wonderful Monaco DanceSport Festival to be held in the fabulous Principality of Monaco.
IPDSC and IDSF fully support the Festival. Events in many categories will take place, together with special attractions, over the three days with the best conditions possible for our competitors and guests.
You will find the first details at the Monaco DanceSport Festival website;
www.monacodancesportfestival.com
We will, also, be letting you know of additional exciting news and developments over the coming of weeks. Please, watch the web site and look out for the e mails that let you know of news.
Entries and tickets can be made on line from September 1st.
Monaco is a unique and amazing place, a perfect setting for our wonderful dancers to perform in. We have the support of the Principality for the Festival so everyone will be assured of a warm and special welcome.
Air fares to Nice from most destinations are very low at that time of the year and the Festival will have free shuttle transportation to and from Nice.
Many hotels are surprisingly affordable in Menton, Cap d’Ail (very near the venue) and in fact, Monaco itself, any check on the many hotel search web sites will surprise you at the very good, but reasonably priced accommodation available, as well as good quality restaurants which will not break the bank!
Naturally, for those that want a little more Monaco also has some of the best hotels and restaurants in the world.
However, even a coffee or aperitif in the casino square is a memorable and wonderful special occasion we can all afford, enjoying the same atmosphere as many celebrities, stars and royalty have done for so many years and still do.
On top of this I am delighted that the legendary Mrs. Gill MacKenzie has agreed to be the Festival Organiser, you know her name and expertise guarantee you the very best in organisation and conditions.
As Festival Director I very much look forward to welcoming you to Monaco for what will be, I am sure the first of many fabulous years of dancing.
Peter Maxwell.
Festival Director,
Monaco DanceSport Festival.
