Hey guys here again and I got a lot for you FWA goers this time so be sure to pay close attention if you are!






I: DancerFurs Icon Competition


***Attention Artists: Would you like your art to be hosted on our page? enter this icon contest to have the chance for your self made icon to be used for a period of time here on FA and on our Twitter page!

The way this works is pretty simple and there are only a couple of "rules" that you should pay attention to and follow.

1 --- Starting today, you may send us your own entry in a note titled "Entry for the Icon Contest".

Just have it include a full size and a 100x100 size of the piece.

2 --- You ARE allowed (of course) to upload it to your own page for others to see.

3 --- MUST INCLUDE EITHER "DancerFurs" or the letters "DF" The character (if one is featured) MUST be silhouetted. The reason behind this is somewhat strange but we love to keep this a going thing because it makes it less about a single person and more about the group of people as a whole. It CAN however be whatever species you'd like it to be.

4 --- The Competition will end February 28th! So you have up until then to send a note in with your entry. The top three will then be decided upon and uploaded directly to our page(with credits of course), as well as given the time frame for which it will be used. 1st place gets 5 months, 2nd place gets 4, and 3rd place gets 3.




II: Furnal Equinox 2013 Dance Competition


Any of you that are interested or know someone who is interested should contact for information and details. Really trying to get something good going up there so help him out even if it's just reposting in another journal of your own!




III: Furry Weekend Atlanta 2013


*** This one seems like it's going to be one of the biggest dance cons yet!

Of course there's going to be the dance competition as there always is. And I hope you all are as excited for this one as I am. FWA's dance comp is a very big deal to my knowledge and continues to be one of the best events at the con.

Here are the official rules for this competition: http://www.furryweekend.com/wp-cont.....Comp_Rules.pdf


The Programming staff of FWA has confirmed the final bit of information I need to open sign-ups for Floor Wars. That will be in the next section under that so see there for information on that.


 last-fur-one crew will also be hosting a small workshop panel for those interested in that. Teachers are not confirmed yet as I have yet to ask all the members going. But I will for sure be there to oversee and help teach a specific style of dance. These are usually pretty helpful to all levels of dancers so don't be shy and come drop in to learn something as well as have a good time.

IV: Last-Fur-One Presents: Floor Wars @FWA2013


~~~ Sign-Ups are now officially OPEN ~~~



Due to time constraints for the panel, we sadly will only have a NON-SUIT/OUT-OF-SUIT category of competition. It is a big bummer, but we're doing what we can with the time we were given. And this does not by any means, mean that the competition will turn out boring or uneventful. Anthrocon's Floor Wars was a great success as was MFF's. So we're hoping to finish the trifector here with FWA.

If you're interested in signing up, please send an e-mail to Dancerfurs[at]gmail.com titled "Floor Wars Application" and fill out/include the following form:

Name (what you want to be announced as):
Pronunciation of above name:
A Favorite track of yours to dance to:
Cell phone number:
Questions/Inquiries:

You will receive an e-mail confirmation ASAP from me along with answers to any questions or inquiries you include.

PLEASE NOTE, a lot of people have asked for a playlist of possible songs that will be in Floor Wars. I have provided a sample list below of some songs to give you an idea of what to get ready for (this however does not mean these will be the only genre of music played; so be prepared for anything):

Keep On Dancing - Legend Da BeatSlaya
Drop It Low - Ester Dean
Who's That Chick - Rhianna and David Guetta
Red Alert - Basement Jaxx
Let Go - Kezwik
Me Against The Music - Britney Spears and Madonna
Ants - edIT


=====CONTESTANTS: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING RULES & DETAILS OF FLOOR WARS BELOW=====

All of these rules apply to ALL CONTESTANTS:

Slots
There will be 16 competitors. In the event that the slots are all filled up. We will open a waiting list/fill in list for those that did not apply in time. Please only apply if you are for sure going to the convention.

Attendance
We will have a ROLL CALL for all contestants, 15 minutes BEFORE THE PANEL STARTS. This is to ensure that we have even numbers for our brackets and to avoid confusion. If you are not there in time, we will replace your spot with someone who is on the waiting list/willing to battle.

Battle Etiquette
We had a few issues at Floor Wars at AC 2012 that were brought up by some dancers that we will be making rules. We WILL enforce these rules during this event. Breaking these rules WILL result in disqualification.


*NO TOUCHING YOUR OPPONENT* Use your dancing to do the talking. Burns/Hand Motions are fine. But touching your opponent in any means except for a sportsmanlike handshake or hug is not.

*LET YOUR OPPONENT FINISH* No running out in the middle of your opponent's set until they indicate they are done, or they are counted out by the MC.

*NO EXCESSIVE/EXTREMELY VULGAR INSULTS* We want to keep this a PG-13 maximum rated competition. Not only do the judges NOT like it, your fellow furries won't either.

We will make these rules clear at the beginning of the competition as well to make sure that you all remember. There are NO exceptions to these rules.



If You Are Late/Cannot Attend
LET US KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! There are many ways to contact us:
Twitter: LastFurOne AtsuFawx DancerFurs
FA: Send a note to
Cell Phone: I will be sending an e-mail with my number to all participants closer to MFF. Keep a lookout.
FAILURE TO LET US KNOW YOU ARE LATE/NOT COMING BEFORE THE COMPETITION STARTS WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION AND POSSIBLE BAN/BLACKLIST FROM THE EVENT ALTOGETHER.

On behalf of all of us in Last-Fur-One, we're super grateful that you guys bless us by competing, cheering, and having fun at FLOOR WARS! Get training, and we'll see you at Furry Weekend Atlanta in Georgia!


To all spectators of the competition. It is GREATLY appreciated if you video tape and post said videos of the competition on sites such as YouTube. This not only helps us get a better view of the event from spectators points of view but also, allows us to look back on the event for future reference.

A small cypher we had after the dance competition and pizza munching. Was very funny because we had to be extremelyyyyyy quiet while filming this
Fanny Pak showcase, brilliant choreography as always
A small piece from a small crew I used to be in contact with. Still very good any interesting concepts in my opinion. I really enjoyed them. Shows how even with just a few friends you can do something!


Thanks for tuning in this time guys! I got into adding all the new watchers so I hope to see a lot from you guys!

See you next time!
