Platinum Dancesport 2016: Shining on Biscayne Bay!

Report by Keith Todd

Platinum Dancesport, hosted by Igor & Polina Pilipenchuk, holds the distinction of being the closest competition to my home on the NDCA Calendar.  In fact, from Igor & Polina’s spectacular hospitality suite at the Hilton Downtown Miami, you can see my apartment building!  That said, you can perhaps understand why I am biased towards a winter competition in my home town.  Even though the weather was a little chilly for us Floridians on the first day of the competition, those traveling from points north all told me, “you should see what it’s like where we live!”  No thank you! The next day temperatures outside were back up into our winter ‘70’s and many of the competitors were able to take a break from dancing to explore downtown Miami or cross the causeway to South Beach.

Dance Life Coaching: A Column To Help Dancers Journey In Life

By Susan Silva

 
“LAUGHTER IS A MEDICINE!”

How much do you laugh?  There is a proverb that says, “A merry heart does good like a medicine; but a broken spirit dries the bones.”  Another way to say this scripture is, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength.”  Does your strength ever feel sapped?  In this busy life that we all lead, especially in the ballroom dance industry do we take the time to laugh?
