Embassy Ball: Open Professional Rhythm 2016
I would like to congratulate the McDonald family on once again producing an elegant, prestigious, and high-level event. It was an honor to be a part of an outstanding panel of judges. The Open American Rhythm event started with a quarter-final. The top 12 were easily picked by all judges who were mostly in agreement.

Sunning & Funning in the Desert! Desert Classic 2016
It has been a couple of years since I attended the Desert Classic Dancesport Championships, organized by Igor & Irina Suvorov. This year it was back in the spectacular JW Marriott in Palm Desert, CA. This hotel has undergone some major renovations since I was last here, in fact the last time I attended Desert Classic it was held at a different resort as the JW was undergoing those renovations.

Do you Believe in Magic?
“Do you believe in magic?” was this year’s them for the Millennium Dancesport Championships and how can you not, being so close to the “Magic Kingdom.” This year’s big move from Tampa, Florida to Orlando, Florida was a big move by the organizer (Michael Chapman) for the Millennium Dancesport Championships, but as if it was orchestrated with a wand the move went nice and easy with out a hitch.
