Anyone going to this comp? Looks like entries decreased some what for last year. Heat lists are not up yet so it is hard to tell what this year will be like...

[syncopationator]

I'm not going to be able to make it.

This year they are hosting the Global Spectrum Series Finale so I anticipate entries should be up from last year.

[dancefoxtrot]

We're going to Cleveland...can't wait!!! I wonder why it is not listed in the competition/event guide on this site??

[chica latina]

Changes in our schedule, made it possible to go... say hi if you see me!
good luck to everyone

[mad123]

Alright! Sounds like there will be some DF representation.

If you haven't gotten a hotel yet and don't mind not staying at the comp hotel, there are some pretty great rates in the area - I've seen $39/night (pre taxes) on Hotwire recently.

[mad123]

Does anyone know if they usually post the heat lists online ahead of time for this comp?

[dancefoxtrot]

The heat list is posted now

[DanceAngel]

I can't find the link to the heat list. Can anyone post it?

lol i competed at this comp several years ago.... my family is from cleveland so they all came and watched.. my grandparents too.. it was super cute :D

[latingal]

If any DF'ers are competing, best of luck!

[etp777]

Only have one couple heading out that way this year. But last year this was site of their first win, so they had to head out again. :) So open pro rhythm results on Friday would be great. ;)

[Nazar]

If any DF'ers are competing, best of luck!

thanks, latingal! we'll need some:-)

[etp777]

Good luck Nazar, chica latina and chris' students!

[mad123]

[Nazar]

Nazar and Mad123... hope to meet you! I am there all week.

Probably we'll meet at Dore':-). BTW, really liked your dress at USDC.
Thanks, guys to all of you for wishing good luck!

[danceronice]

Wanted to go, but I just closed on a house yesterday and will be spending the weekend cleaning, unpacking, and learning how to take care of a lawn. :(

[chrisjohnston]

Now at blue pointe grill downtown. Food is really great. Downtown Cleveland is very cool with some really good bars. You should really make the effort to get down here .is about a 30 dollar cab ride from the hotel.the girls seem to have had a good time so far so let's hope that translates to the dancefloor
Hello daneronice is it snowing there yet

Cheers chris
