Congratulations to Gherman Mustuck & Iveta Lukosuite for making this a wonderful event for many to attend.
The Crown Jewel!
This was the perfect location to celebrate and dance and as it turned out, a major step in our industry and in the USA in general today.
That is, if you are fully “vaccinated” you no longer have to wear mask indoors or outdoors according the CDC, welcome news for many that wanted to dance but were not able to due to the mask requirements in many regions of the country and in some hotels even while dancing. We at Dance Beat urge everyone to still take caution, this pandemic is not over, but we hope to see more people join the many competitions opening up all over the country and dance, dance, dance!
Dance, dance, and more dance is what we saw here at the Crown Jewell last night and over the last couple of days in the beautiful setting of the Ritz Carlton, Naples, FL and with some simple but beautifully decorations in the ballroom.

The Open Professional Show Dances were also terrific and gave Shane & Shannon Jensen their second win of the night but this time without perfect scores on their card, Giampiero Giannico awarded them a 5th place mark in this routine, and Larry Dean gave them a second. In a strange way we totally agree with the result but in defense of the dissenting judges, perhaps their routine was a little lost in translation, for us the elements and presentation were great and faultless but perhaps lacked any kind of story. On this outing second went to Gonzalo Paves & Daniela Moreno with an Argentine tango, third were Christian Lightner & Kia Kenny with what seemed to simulate an Ice dancing couple. Fifth was nearly a tie between Antonio Nunes & Oxana Kashmina with (25 points) and Alexey & Ksenia Grinev with (26 Points), in the end Antonio & Oxana should have been fourth but were given a penalty for having props and so they ended up in fifth place with, Alexey & Ksenia placing fourth.
