Dear Dance Enthusiast,

The Desert Classic extends a warm welcome to each friend, old and new. We have endeavored to bring you an exciting ballroom dance competition with incredible shows and the wonderful amenities of our beautiful venue over four fun-filled days.

The fabulous JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa caters to any and all whims, from fabulous mountain views and five sparkling pools overlooking two championship golf courses to tennis and incredible spa facilities, spectacular waterfalls, gondolas and fine cuisine. We hope you'll have time to explore Palm Desert attractions such as El Paseo's revolving sculpture exhibition and fabulous shops or the Living Desert Zoo. World-famous Palm Springs is just a short car-ride away and offers a wide variety of attractions from hikes to balloon rides, and world-class shopping.

The Desert Classic is a proud participant in the DanceSport Series where Pro/Am dancers vie for points and regional/national recognition. With over $85,000 in professional prize money, Top Teacher awards, Pro/Am & Amateur Scholarships and other awards, the 2013 Desert Classic is sure to be a dancing extravaganza to remember forever.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to all competitors, spectators and supporters who travel from near and far destinations. Each of you helps to make our competition a spectacular success year after year. We know you have many choices for competition. It would be our honor to have you participate in the 2013 Desert Classic DanceSport Championships. And remember, the Desert Classic is more than just a ballroom competition, it's a destination!
