Open to the World Cabaret

It was a great honor to be a Guest Judge at this years World Cabaret Championships. Having won the United States and World Championships in 2003 myself, I took great pride in Judging this Event. In my opinion there should have been a semi-final in the afternoon as it started out with 14 couples and 11 couples actually danced. Only the top 7 couples actually should have been dancing in a World Event on the Saturday Night at The Official United States Dancesport Championships in a World Class final. It would take a lot of guts and wishful thinking on the 4 couples who did decide they were worthy.
