I'm not really sure what you mean by this thread. Are these landmark events? Are these strictly personal events?

For me, I like the Intercontinental (held alternatively in Orlando and Osmington Bay, with preference to England). But I would love to go to Blackpool if the opportunity presented itself.

[pygmalion]

Yes. I meant personal events, but feel free to fill in whatever you like. :wink: :D

I certainly understand! Mine would be first time dancing in my tiny blue dress, which made me feel that everyone is stearing at my butt. I never had such hip movements in my life - never before and never after that comp.

For me the list would include two events that are still goals at this stage in my dancing life:

1. My first social dance night

2. My first competition

3. My first competition first-place finish

4. My first show/exhibition dance (still to come)

5. Making the final round in a championship-level event at a major competition (about 2-3 years away)

Costuming makes all the difference, doesn't it? 8)
