Open Professional Smooth – Desert Classic 2016

The semifinal started out with 14 couples and it was brutal to select 7 out of 14.  They were all good, although some better than others, which made it fun to judge.  The first four stood out and then we had to chose three more and be fair to everyone.  It was a nice final, so much so that at times I got carried away enjoying the moment.

Analog vs. Digital

Music is very important. Every dancer knows this. Most of us receive inspiration, practice and perform to music all the time. Music that you choose to play for yourself reflects certain traits of character and moods that you are in. So every dancer enjoys dancing to music that he/she is able to connect to, to draw energy from and to unite with.

Amateur Haven: Atlanta Ballroom Challenge 2016

What an event the Atlanta Ballroom Challenge turned out to be. The 2016 edition of the Atlanta Ballroom Challenge was a complete makeover from the previous years. The event moved to downtown Atlanta to the new W Midtown hotel. This new location sure made it easier for the out of town participants to arrive at the new venue. The competitors would take the MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Area Transit Authority) train from the Atlanta airport directly to the Arts Center station and walk two blocks to hotel.
