Now that I have your attention let me tell you how it happened. There were a lot of us as well, adjudicators, professional dancers, and pro/am students, all getting leid by David Alvarez, the competition organizer, as we entered the luau on the lush grounds of the Sheraton Waikiki Beach. As a traditional welcome to Hawaii, beautiful orchid leis were distributed to everybody.

A1 Ballroom

All the A1 finals in the Open to the World Championship Scholarships were danced at night. The winner in this A1 Ballroom was Natalie Rezai w/ Sergey Kiselev 1,1,1,1,3. This lady has been one of the most successful competitors in this division over the last year. I found her dancing very powerful today.

Last night at the Holiday Dance Classic it was all about the dance, no shows except for a few of the old judges trying to strut or let’s just say walk whatever little they have left on the dance floor - probably a spectacle on its own for the audience to see.
