Desert Classic 2016
8 Jul 2016Artem & Inna Win Ballroom
Artem Plakhotnyi & Inna Berlizyeva cruised to victory last night in the Open Pro Ballroom.
As we mentioned on our blog, the American Star Ball changed to a new venue and this venue to me is as American as Apple Pie. Their new venue is located right on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, giving you total easy access to everything this gambling city has to offer. If you love the beach as I do, it’s right out the back door, or you could just walk down the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk, buy yourself a pretzel or take a ride on a Ferris wheel.

Any person in the DanceSport world may differ in how we dance, where we come from, how we were trained and what we believe is right and wrong, but there is one definite thing that defines us as a community – our love for what we do - dance. With our society moving ever faster and in a more detached manner...

Emerald Ball 2016: Professional Rhythm
5 Jul 2016The Emerald Ball was a very exciting competition as usual. I commend Wayne and Donna Eng for maintaining such an elegant atmosphere and attracting such a high level of dancing all these years; students and professionals alike.
On to the American Rhythm competition. The event started with a quarter-final. The final 6 were pretty clear in the callbacks. The 1st and 2nd place couples were definite in their results but 3rd and 4th ; 5th and 6th were very close. I have to say this was no surprise. All the couples did seem to have some fabulous moments but when I would compare and look back to a couple, the consistency was lacking. A few of the couples seemed to run out of gas by the third dance.
