Galaxy Dance Festival

[reb]

We stopped in for a short while, and maybe some who are there can post more about the placings tonight and tomorrow, but regardless, there is a situation here which some Open pros might want to pay attention to . . . there is good money to be won - $2k for 1st in Open Pro - and there's hardly any Open pros showing up from what I could tell, leaving it to the same Rising Star money winners to take the Open pro money too!

Anyway, next year it will be held at the Biltmore (yes, the Biltmore) in Phoenix, and the organizers Judy Nixon and Paul Jack are hands-on and friendly . . . and apparently giving too! So, not to make it a sales pitch - but Pros, ahem, might want to pay attention and there was the rare Amatuer money also . . .

Last night we saw threestep take the Rising Star Standard!

How are the results for tonight?

You're up way too early!

[Laura]

I had to get up at 3:30am so I could make my 5:55am flight. :(

If anyone is able to post results for RS Smooth and Rhythm, and Open Rhythm, I would be hugely grateful! :-)

I don't know - wasn't there when Open Pro was danced - but with 4 styles, its possible that this might apply to him and three others.

Laura? Threestep?

Bueller?

[Laura]

I wasn't there, I was (am) in New Mexico taking pictures of rocks.

Why did you take pictures of rocks? Is this your hobby?

[Laura]

I like taking landscape/travel pictures. I'd never been to New Mexico so I'm on a little getaway to relax/spa/take pictures.

I've got a bunch of pictures online on my personal photo web site (http://www.lagassa.com/bin/liveframe.cgi). Nothing is up yet from my current trip.
