Tis the Season to be Dancing!Southeastern States Championships 2015

Report by Chantal Leclerc

For the past few years my holiday season has started at the beginning of December with a visit to the Orlando Renaissance Hotel at Sea World. This is the venue for the Southeastern States Dance Championship hosted by the team of Larry and Dianne Dean, 44 years in the business of turning out competitions that have set the highest standards in our industry for first class venues, world class shows, superb ballrooms, stunning gifts and warm welcomes.

A “Classique” Ending!

Last night there was a typical “Classique” ending to La Classique Du Quebec, with standing room only Arunas Bizokas and Katusha Demidova performed what we consider to be one of the best shows we have seen from a ballroom couple and crowned World Professional Ballroom Champions.

Platinum Warms Up!

Saturday things warmed up in Miami. The outside temperature moved back into the ‘70’s and in the ballroom at Platinum Dancesport, the open professional divisions were on display.

Amateur Haven:The Savannah Dance Festival

Report by Keith E. Gardenhire

The Savannah Dance Festival was an exceptional event to attend. A new beginning of the Savannah Dance Festival was ushered in this year. Moving to a new venue at the Hyatt Regency Savannah with a magnificent ballroom and a practice floor the tournament also had a new co-host of Corky Ballas along with the ever present Eddie Ares. These changes brought a new level of anticipation and the dancers did not disappoint.
