We’re pleased to announce that next year’s SnowBall Classic will take place at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Vancouver on January 22-24, 2010. SnowBall enjoyed the Hyatt location for several years in the past. The spacious ballroom allows us to seat an additional 200 people each night, as well as providing change rooms on the same floor and lots of room for vendors.

SnowBall Classic will host the IDSF World Cup Latin on Friday January 22, 2010, in addition to the normal syllabus and Pre-Championship competitions, Junior, Youth and Senior championship events, as well as IDSF International Open Latin, IDSF International Open Standard, and IDSF International Senior 1 Standard competitions. The World Cup is restricted to the top adult-level couple from each country, so you can be sure this will be a spectacular event. We expect to see couples from over 30 countries taking part.

You can book your room right now at the Hyatt through our SnowBall Classic - Hyatt booking link.
