Peter Perzhu & Izabella Jundzill placed fourth overall. Yegor Novikov & Aleksandra Smirnova were fifth and Kyle & Allie Spinder placed sixth in every dance. We must also mention that Kyle & Allie took this opportunity to exit the dance floor with grace and announced their retirement from competition dancing.

With this the 2017 United States Dance Championships came to a close, we want to say thank you to the director Wayne Eng, the President of ABC Mr. Martin Chiang and everyone that made this Championship possible for our couples and all that love US Ballroom dancing in the USA.
Just look to the rainbow!
“Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”
As most of you know by now a threat to our USDC is brewing in the Caribbean and as most tracking systems, have it coming our way. However, when things get tough you must look to the future and to the best of times and see the other side of the rainbow and it should all be clear soon enough.
Almost from the moment we arrived in Orlando and the US Dance Championships, the organizers have been battling with this terrible shadow that is now pointing our way, with cancellations, people wanting to leave, changing schedules, trying to fullfill everyone’s dreams of becoming a US Champion, an honor greater than any for US dancers. Yesterday late afternoon after working for hours on their schedule, it was announced that they have managed to combine and fit most competitions to Friday and to Saturday daytime session making it possible for many of us to leave early ahead of the biggest storm ever recorded. Please check the website for your new heatsheet list for any cancellations or changes. In conclusion Saturday daytime session will end at 4PM.

Tonight we are expecting to see the US National Professional Rhythm & Ballroom Championships as well as the US Mambo as well as US Open to the world and national Pro/Am Championships
So “Scary,” but Delightfully Entertaining and Exciting!
The US National Theatrical Dance Championship was one of the first events yesterday night here in Orlando, Florida, home of our US Dance Championships.
This division is the only division where the couples dance and perform “lifts” all at the same time. They are totally professional and we know there won’t be an issue, but it is still a little scary even to us.
