It's been a looooong time and I pretty much only remember the basics, but HELL YES swing dancing.

hilarious
Whoo! Jitterbug!
Okay, so being the sort of whitey white boy that typically doesn't dance, I didn't attend such a thing at PAX East 2011. So what are the basic details of how this stuff plays out?

It's pretty impromptu. I'll tweet about it as PAX draws near and it will most likely be late Saturday night of PAX. I think last year we went about 2 hours long. =) Stay tuned to twitter and either follow me or save #slashdance for details in your Twitter do-hicky for deets.
The background on this is that each PAX East, some of us have done just impromptu dancing, calling it "/dance". Last PAX East, we had quite the crowd, and it was entertaining for a lot of folk. This year, I still want it to be impromptu... This means, if you happen to be in the area when it's happening, then feel free to join in, but it's not an official thing. It's just something that happens. I show up and play music, and boom magic happens. =) Watch my tweets though if you're seriously interested.

Ahh, I see. Sort of "Flash Mob", only much more tame and less planned out.
I take it you'll generally be doing this within the BCEC then?

I hereby add mexican shuffle to the styles of dance which may appear.
Here! Let me show you the dance of my people!
Definitely flash mob stylistic, but organized. I definitely have safety, security, and fun in mind as well. Last year, the dancing started in front of the PC room in one of the side hallways. Everyone was having a blast, and drew a crowd. MCCA even allowed us into a large area so that we didn't block the hallway. This is not intended to be disruptive, but instead just a couple hours of letting loose a bit and kicking up heels (not "kicking Heels" that would be mean) on a Saturday night. =)
Location TBD! Hard to remain impromptu if I'm telling everyone all the deets. Just know, if you hear music late Saturday night (and it's no where near the main theater), something might be afoot! =)

I had no idea what it was, just went round the corner and ... whoa, 30+ people dancing in the hallway.
One of the highlights of PAX East for me.
I've never been in or seen one, but I'd be all in for this.

Where/whenever Vapok decides to have it start.
Time to thread and twitter stalk then I guess. I never use twitter anymore but maybe this will get me back into it, at least temporarily if nothing else.
Heels, you neglected to include" bootyshakin' moneymakin'"

You guys absolutely rocked it last year. The interpretive dance that y'all did for Stay Alive was nothing short of awesome. =)
