DERT 2013 – Back to Basics. Back to Burton

DERT is being organised by Ryknild Rabble in Burton upon Trent over the weekend of Friday 8th – Sunday 10th March.

This is what we're planning:                 Also see our web site http://www.DERT2013.org for more information.

Accommodation
There will be indoor camping at a primary school in Burton, this will include a basic breakfast. If this does not suit you, there are now plenty of hotels in Burton, a Travelodge; a Premier Inn and a Holiday Inn Express to name just three – all within walking distance of pubs and venues, as well as everything else in the centre of Burton.
Saturday:
Main Competition
The main competition will be run in five pubs around the town, with five dances being judged during the day. These pub spots are all close together, so making for an easy walking tour, but the dance space in some of the pubs is tight, so start planning your dance to accommodate this.  There will be warm up dance spots as well.
The Spotlight Dance
The Spotlight dance is not part of the main competition, but there will be an additional award for best display dance, judges on this one dance only.  The display dance will be at Town Hall and will be scheduled into your main competition programme. There is more space at the Town Hall giving you the opportunity to display some of your more expansive figures.

The Traditional Dance
This dance will take place at the Town Hall after the Main Competition.

 

DERTy

The Youth Competition will take place at Burton Town Hall during the day, the youth dances alternating with the Spotlight dances, providing the chance for both groups to see each other. The awards for DERTy will be given out at the end of the youth competition.

 

The evening will be at the Town Hall with a ‘showcase’ of the teams dancing and the presentation of awards, then time to continue talking and drinking or continuing to dance around the pubs in Burton.

 

As this is back to basics DERT, we are only providing breakfasts for the indoor campers on Saturday & Sunday mornings and you will have the choice of the many eating establishments around Burton, for your lunch and dinner.

 

Sunday:

As usual, there will be a Rapper Workshop – hopefully hosted by Saturday’s winners. This will take place at the School in the morning.

 

Then off to the pub (location to be revealed later) for ....... and fond goodbyes....

 

Put the date 8^th~10^th March 2013 in your diary and please go to the web site http://www.DERT2013.org for more information.

 

Regards,
