16th Crazy Special

11th Santa Claus Dance

Crazy Special

What is it going to be like?
A weekend full of Square Dance and a bit of Line Dance to rest. Of course, as is a custom at our dances, you can expect plenty of good mood and fun. Even though the Basic level was officially abolished until recent time, we hope that you all know what the term means. If someone perhaps was not sure, it is the first 53 figures of the Mainstream level. If you are uncertain, feel free to turn to our contact address, where everything will be explained. Easy Basic program covers the first 30 calls of the Basic program.

Besides, a traditional sports-intellectual team contest called Crazy Games will take place on Friday evening. On the Saturday evening, we are expecting a visit from Santa Claus himself, who will be ready to distribute presents that you leave for your friends in our collection camp.

When is it going to take place?
From December 8 till December 10, 2006.

Where is it going to take place?
In the Jitřní elementary school (základní škola), Praha 4 - Hodkovičky.

How much is it going to cost?
The entry is free of charge, but only for holders of a valid badge. The whole badge costs 230 CZK (we will not charge an extra fee for lodging). Those who have already been at our dance and bring their Crazy Special badge with them may make use of our discount system. A discount will be provided for presence at previous Crazy Specials (proven by presenting the dangles from the particular Crazy Specials and comparison with our database), based on the following system:

 Off It does not matter when your first or last visit of Crazy Special took place. The discount is based purely on the number of Crazy Specials you have attended. Those who have attended all the previous Crazy Specials pay only 185 CZK after the discount!

Who is going to be there?
A lot of nice people, like last time. Martin "Pavouk" Podlaha, Tomáš "Doug" Machalík, Michal Bayer and Karel Štefek will be your callers; Jana "Džejn" Hanzalová will be your Line Dance leader.

What about sleeping?
We hope well. Classrooms will be designated for sleeping; we recommend dancers to bring a sleeping bag and a sleeping mat with them. Accommodation in a nearby hostel or hotel may be mediated upon timely request.

What will we eat there?
There are many options. Everyone may bring their own food. You may visit a restaurant. Or, which is recommended, you can rely on our non-stop refreshments. Those who have attended any of the previous Crazy Specials know that nobody will be hungry with us. Lovers of good tea may look forward to The Crazy Tea Room again.

How to get there?
You can use public transport bus number 106 from metro station Kačerov to bus station Psohlavců, or bus number 121 from metro station Budějovická to bus station Na Lysinách; then follow the map. The same map will help motorists to navigate - the best access roads lead from the Jižní Spojka bypass (which connects D1 motorway from Brno, the Barrandov Bridge and D5 motorway from Plzeň).
