The Autumn Dance Classic this year moved out of their comfort zone and made some interesting changes to the program, giving some competitors a chance to earn extra money and even composing some specialty Smooth music for their open Professional Smooth competition. This made this event quite interesting and gave us, the attendees, something new to see and hear.

Dancing on New land!

Going back to Hawai’i for the Hawai’i Star Ball was very emotional and a wonderful feeling of enjoyment came over me when I arrived! Emotional because before the new Organizer, Mr. David Alvarez ,took over, the Hawai’i Star Ball was canceled for 2013, something totally unprecedented since it has been going strong for over 20 years and to miss a year was a difficult decision that I’m sure Mr. Geoffrey Fells, the creator and former organizer, did not want to make.

Millennium’s theme this year is the 4 Elements and it is “elementary” that Millennium Dancesport remains the “best dressed” competition on the circuit.
