David Patrone Productions, 2toGroove and Viejas Casino are proud to bring you the biggest single "top cash prize" swing dance competition in the WORLD. To put things in perspective, the U.S. Open Swing Dance Competition has a top prize of $3000, while the 2010 David Patrone $10,000 Swing Dance Extravaganza will have a top prize of $5000!

Starting Sun. January 10th, registered couples may compete in any number of 9 weekly qualifying rounds in order to advance to the semi-final round held on March 21st. Only the top 2 couples from each of these 9 qualifying rounds will move on to the semi-finals. Of the 20 couples in the semi-final round, only 10 couples will be chosen to move on to the final round held on March 28th, where they will then battle it out for one of 3 huge cash prizes.

1st prize: $5,000.00
2nd prize: $3,000.00
3rd prize: $2,000.00

Combined Cash Prize Money: $10,000.00

Please Note: Registered couples may compete as many weeks as they needed until they qualify for the semi-final round. Once you qualify, you need not show up again until the semi-final round on March 21st. However, all couples who want to compete for the 3 cash prizes MUST show up early to re-register for both semi-final and final rounds. Registration is from 4:45 to 6:00 on each contest day.

This contest is the real deal. Dancers, even if you don't think you'll make it to the semi-final round, please come and participate in the weekly contests. Each weekly winner will receive a cash prize! So please come early to register or take the free swing lesson! What have you got to lose?
