  1. Come Rain Come Shine 2008

    Come Rain Come Shine is simple. A weekend dedicated to the spirit of the party and the need to do so. This weekend will give just what partner dancing needs: Workshops with some of the most amazing instructors and dancers, a few contests and hours of doing what we do best: dancing. All of this designed to preserve the spirit that dancing inspires.

    West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, Slow Dancing, Hip Hop, African Movement and much much more, all in beautiful Portland, Oregon!

    - Hours of dancing to some of the most incredible music.

    - Hours of workshops some of the finest instructors and dancers we have had the privilege to know, see and work with.

    - Competitions that will challenge and inspire you to rise to new heights, and perhaps get you passes to national events; This year we have the honor of awarding WSDC points to our winners.

    Cost:
    Full Weekend Pass: $95 before the door / $115 at the door
    1-day Workshop Pass: $50
    Single Dance Pass: $10

    Mark your calendars and get ready to learn something new, meet someone new and party like you know you want to.

    May 30th through June 1st 2008, Come Rain Come Shine returns.

  8. IMPORTANT UPDATE

    With the economy in the state that it is, money is tighter than it has been in some time.

    That being said, to have a price jump at this time would be against what Come Rain Come Shine is all about: great dancing, excellent instruction and having a good time at an affordable price.

    That is why we will be keeping the price an affordable $115 dollars this year. We're making sure you can enjoy a weekend of hours and hours of dancing, instruction with champions from all over the country and much more, without breaking your piggy bank.

    Come Rain Come Shine is everyone's event, so we want everyone there. We've taken your suggestions and can't wait to show you what Come Rain Come Shine 2009 has to offer.

  11. This year, Come Rain Come Shine will be dedicated to the memory of Frankie Manning

    Frankie Manning was an inspiration to tens of thousands over several generations. A teacher, performer, icon and institution in his own right. He will be missed and should be honored in any way you see fit.

    This year, Come Rain Come Shine will be dedicated to the memory, hard work and inspiration that was Frankie "Muscle Head" Manning.

    There is no way to fill the void that has been left from his passing. We will lift his memory high in celebration. With music and dance we will honor the life of one of the most powerful spirits to have walked the earth.

    From everyone at Watch Your Step Productions, we bid Frankie peace. Moreover, we send our deepest thanks and admiration for everything and everyone you have effected.

    Thank you, Frankie Manning, you will be missed.
