**** This one seems like it's going to be one of the biggest dance cons yet! Lots of events are going to be happening!
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
Dance Competition Try-Outs are Friday 12:30 pm to 2:00 in the Panels III room AND Saturday 3:00 pm - 4:30 in the Panels II room.
Dance Competition Finals are Saturday 9pm - 11:00 in the Main Events Room.
DUE TO A SCHEDULE CONFLICT - ANY FLOOR WARS COMPETITORS ARE RECOMMENDED
TO TRY OUT ON FRIDAY BECAUSE THE SATURDAY TRY OUTS RUN IN WITH FLOOR WARS.
****
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. This panel will be held Friday 6:30 pm to 8:30 in the Panels III room. **** The Official DancerFurs Cypher will be happening Sunday 12 - 3 pm. Location TBD, keep up to date with the twitter feed while at the con. As announcements and details, especially last minute ones will be posted through out the entire con about this event and all dance involved events. There will likely be many other cyphers besides this one, but this is currently the only one with a planned specific time.

V: Last-Fur-One Presents: Floor Wars @FWA2013
~~~ Sign-Ups are still OPEN~~~
THIS PANEL WILL BE HELD SATURDAY 4:30pm - 6:30 in the MAIN EVENTS ROOM
Due to a schedule conflict it's highly recommended any competitors and spectators that
would like to enter the dance competition, do the Friday auditions. The Saturday auditions
end at 4:30 pm as well, and as such overlap with this event. 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.

=====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:

Parris with another brilliantly choreographed routine this time featuring the males of the adult crew, Misfits.
No explanation needed.
One of the most intensely emotional and brilliantly choreographed contemporary routines I've ever seen. Thought I could share it with you all.
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!

I'm not sure how to contact Malo about this situation, but that's the person you wanna talk to.
Best of luck and I look forward to seeing you tap up a storm.

Looking at the schedule, the event will be held Saturday 1:30pm-2:30pm in the Main Events Room. Apparently there's also going to be tryouts on Friday, but they're not on the schedule yet.
* = Though personally, I do agree with everyone else that while it's nice they're doing it....unfortunately announcing it two weeks before the con is too late for us to prepare. Especially since some were asking about group performances in the dance comp a couple weeks ago are were told "No". Combine that with mondo schedule conflicts (Same day as Floor Wars, the Main Dance Comp and it's happening before Saturday's try-outs for the main dance comp.), I think this is going to be a learning experience more then anything else.
