The night also included some wonderful junior and youth events, that for a while had the audience very excited from side to side.

As we mentioned earlier there were some excellent Junior events, in particular the Junior II Latin, and here Nathan Zaytsev & Annika Mugin won first place overall 2,1,2,3,1; second overall was awarded to Anthony Mattos & Eva Zinchenko 1,2,4,4,2, and third went to Eric Griffin & Sophia Marriott 3,3,1,2,3. As you can see it was very close between all these couples so we feel we should honor them all. Anthony Tatoosi & Vendela Lloyd were fourth 5,4,5,1,3; Zorik Moldavsky & Alice Bankova took fifth place 4,5,3,5,5, and Anton Boudzko & Kalina Botchev were sixth in all dances.

With this the Autumn Classic came to an end all that is left is the children events tomorrow morning and afternoon, it was a great evening of dance for us all last night and so we want to congratulate Jonathan Wilkins, and Olga Foroponova, the organizers.
Great Smooth Dancing in San Francisco!
The Autumn Dance Classic is underway, and last night was the conclusion of the open professional Smooth and Latin.
It was short night but the quality of the dancing was more than enough to satisfy the fans and keep the judges on their toes.

Third in this heat went to Lukas & Simona Alisauskas 3,3,3,3,3, fourth was awarded to Alekseev Alekseev & Ekaterina Derevleva 6,4,6,4,5, fifth was Oleksandr Kozhukhar & Rachel Sayotovich 4,5,4,6,6, And in sixth position were Satnislav Savich & Nicole Prosser 5,6,5,5,4. We were very surprised that Stanislav & Nicole placed this low. Their work is excellent, but perhaps their costuming might be too heavy looking detracting from their talent, this is quite unfortunate because they are a very talented couple.
