One-day competitions are very much the flavor of the day as more and more organizers want to climb aboard the NDCA schedule of recognized events.

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.
