"What an exceptional weekend!  My daughter says that everyone is talking on Facebook about what a great time they had.  I think you can count on a large group of young people telling their friends and coming back for another great year in 2009!  I appreciate all you did to make the weekend so smooth."

"There's no other dance weekend I've found that can hold a candle to the Whirl for excitement, setting and downtime activities."
--Ted Duncan

"I'd like to say I, too, had a great time.  What a privilege to be part of such a successful and happy event."
-- Jim Hatfield

"Your willingness to serve in multiple ways and create an experience in which people of differing interests and skills could feel valued and included is truly a marvelous thing.  Makes me wanna dance..."
--Trish Hatfield



I have attended WWW each year since its inception, and it remains one of my very favorite weekends.

This was truly a GREAT WEEKEND!!  Thanks for making it happen!!

It was one of the best dances ever.  I am planning on coming next year. It was a magical weekend.  Thanks!
--Paul Sullivan

I am a big fan of WWW, so I don't see a whole lot of room for improvement.  As I've told everyone, the music and calling was off the charts, amazingly good.  The West Virginia countryside and campout experience make it a particularly special dance experience. The schedule and content is first-rate.  It draws a really friendly and fun group of dancers too. The food and group meals are a big plus.  The weekend is a great value too. 
--Rick Szumski
