open to all registered professional and amateur dancers.

All the information and entry forms needed are within this booklet. If we have overlooked
anything or if there is any additional information needed, please do not hesitate to contact us at the
address or phone numbers given.

If you decide not to go on package, we have a block of rooms reserved and you can make your
reservations directly with the hotel at 800-247-8767 and tell them you are with the American Star Ball.
Book your hotel rooms early our block is only available until May 10th, or until it is sold out, whichever

The deadline for entries is May 2, 2011. We will be unable to accept professional or amateur
entries that are not received in time to be printed in the program. We go to print at 8am on May 9, so
please have your entries in if you intend to compete professionally or would like your entries counted
towards the top teacher awards.

We will be having a nifty fifty drawing for all Pro/Am teachers and also a scavenger hunt for all
participants in the competition, so be sure to bring a bag with anything you can think of, from rubber
bands to postage stamps. You never know what we will be asking for.

We hope that you will join us, and we will do our utmost to make your experience a memorable
