Wow, wow, wow! Very nice clips, Big10! That Junior and Emily performance was particularly amazing!

(and congrats to Jorjet on being preggers!)

That Junior and Emily performance was particularly amazing!
Yeah, and I was lucky enough to be sitting in the front row for most of the performances, as part of my role on the organizing committee for this year's Congress. :cool:

My favorite performances were that one from Junior & Emily and the performances by Fusion Salsera. Plus, many of the performers did a lot of social dancing, so it was super-cool to see Magna Gopal "doing her thing" on both Saturday night and Sunday night. :notworth:

It was good to see ya Big 10. Awesome party you guys put on in Houston. If you come up to Dallas, hope we can return the favor.

Some of those performances were insane!!! I'm just a beginner, but when I think of myself in the future, I picture all that acrobatic flipping and sliding, etc. I love getting thrown around-in a good way. I know that it's all choreographed and for exhibition only, but that is what appeals to me.
