    Speaking of national headlining DJs, Naomi Uyama is the head DJ for the weekend and will be your contest DJ. The LOTR staff is thrilled to have her. Besides being a kickass dj, she's also a stellar dancer. Check our her DJ bio and website below.

    DJ Bio

    Naomi Uyama discovered jazz over ten years ago through her love of swing dancing. Her interest lead her to a 'History of Jazz' internship at the Smithsonian Institution's American History museum. When she's not traveling in the name of lindy hop, singing in her car, or loving libraries, Naomi lives in D.C. where she helps run "The Jam Cellar"- Washington's best dance venue for classic jazz.

    For more about Naomi, go here: http://www.naomiuyama.com/

    This is the last day for the $99 registration unless you're going to Frankie's Bash.

    Hey everyone!

    Everybody's talking about Lindy on the Rocks 2009! We've all come to know LOTR as one of the most fun mid-sized events and this year we're going to be even BETTER! We have a killer instructor line up featuring the world's best dancers, beautiful venues for the classes and dances, including the Classic 1770 Sherman St. Ballroom for the Saturday night dance, super-sweet live music played by Robert Bell Hot Swing Combo and The Southside Aces, a world class DJ list headlined by none other than Naomi Uyama, and contests that'll knock your socks off! Sunday evening we dance, enjoy performances, eat and party at the Cheeseman Park Pavillion.

    Sunday night ends at 2:00am with a soul party brought to you by Peter Strom and Scott Angelius.

    Check out the states that are already representing for LotR:
    AZ
    CA
    CO
    CT
    DC-(I know it's not an official state)
    GA
    IL
    KS
    LA
    MN
    MO
    NM
    NV
    NY
    OH
    OR
    PA
    RI
    TX
    UT
    WA
    WY
    Aaannndd...Canada, Ecuador and France are representing!!!!

    Did I mention that we have one of the most amazing late night venues ever?!! For our Friday and Saturday late night dances, we're going downtown to Baur's Ristorante. Located in the heart of LoDo, this very cool, full restored landmark building features decor from the 20s, fantastic wood floors and promises to be one of the most fantastic places for late night lindy hop, eating and hanging out with your friends in Denver! Our hotel block is walking distance from the classes and only 50 feet away from the late night venue, and at only $102 per night, the Courtyard Downtown Denver Marriott is the place to be. Just ask for the Lindy on the Rocks rate. If you want to be hosted instead of staying at the hotel, Big Mike is still going to handle that for us.

    Proceeds are donated to jazz dance and music school programming for our youth, so your participation and enjoyment at Lindy on the Rocks also supports a great cause. Register now! Passes are $119 until midnight May 31. Then they are $129. You can also register for competitions online now.

    Reminder! Frankie 95th Festival attendees - $99 for an LOTR weekend pass until 5/30. Check previous posts for further details or email us at the address below.

    Finally... flights are still rated a buy at http://www.farecast.com for the LOTR weekend.

    More LOTR updates!

    Book your hotel reservations at the Courtyard Downtown Denver Marriott for $102 a night. Call Marriott reservations at 1 (800) 321-2211 or (303) 571-1114, mention Lindy on the Rocks or CMDance. The hotel reservation cutoff date is July 17. This venue is maybe 50 steps away from Baur's Ristorante. That's assuming that you can barely walk after the awesome late night dancing and amazing food.

    There will be a late night FOOD PASS for $30. This includes Friday, Saturday and Sunday late night meals. The LOTR late night menu will be published on the website soon, but until then, feast your eyes on their regular menu.

    On Sunday, there will be an evening dance at the Cheesman Park Pavilion from 6-10pm. It is open to the public and will feature a picnic, dancing, performances, and awards!

    COMPETITION information, registration, and prizes are now up! Go HERE for more info.

    *Pro/Champions Strictly Lindy Division* is an ILHC qualifier. We already have several amazing dance couples from across the US registering. This is your chance to compete against the best. If you wonder if you qualify, read this from the contest page: "This competition is open only to dancers who have finished in the top three at other national events, such as Camp Jitterbug, Camp Hollywood, ULHS, ALHC, etc. Competitors register as a couple. Finals will be danced in a phrased battle to a live band. " And if you win, you go straight to the Pro Champions Strictly Finals.

    Also, don't forget to book at our event hotel, the Downtown Courtyard Marriott. You'll be in walking distance of several venues, not to mention you're in the center of downtown Denver. Block pricing of only $102.00 is available until July 17th, so please book now to save your spot and walk 100 feet from late night into your room.

    Are you aware of the state qualifying competitions? Stay tuned for fliers and promoters at your local venue.
