Showcase chat...

I just got home from grand opening of Sam's Pro's new studio. It was a huge success!!! :banana: :banana: Sam did a FANTASTIC job with her pro/am performance. In addition to Sam's routine, her pro dance 1 other pro/am number, which was also great. Her pro's partner did 2 pro/am routines with a couple of her students which were equally as good. Then, they dance 4 wonderful pro showdances throughout the evening. In between all this there was social dancing, a buffet dinner, and raffle drawings. It was a wonderful evening!!!
 
well I'm home

and despite saga's and debacles bothe at training on Friday and at the begining of the comp day - short story - dance partner 2 hrs late arriving at comp - the end result was good

we placed 3rd with our showcase!!

sadly we didn't do as well in our main freestyle event - which due to earlier crap resulted in me kinda wigging out for a bit
 
luce's report is spot-on... it was as fabulous evening... my favorite dance-related evening to date, on all accounts. 125 people attended, great food, the most exquisite floor of primarily international social dancers i've ever seen (in my limited experience... ), enjoyed myself dancing tremendously... even completely enjoyed the showdance performance, despite shoe nearly falling off, not being able to hear the music, and a few other glitches. it just didn't matter. i really enjoyed it, and i know i performed it better than i did back in june. of the few photos i have of it, i can see my frame generally better, but most of all... i was just happy and relaxed out there. :D

and my instructor and his partner were just smokin'... no other way to put it.

it was great seeing luce there!

something to remember for the next event: one bottle of tequila is not enuf for the student's table, lol...:cool::rolleyes:
 
i may even have a photo or two of the dress i wore... the lighting was very dim, but i think i may have a couple shots of it. it's the one i made. for this event, since i dyed my shoes black since the summer and don't have a 2nd pair, i sewed on a black ribbon under the bust and put a little black ribbon in my ponytail and it worked just fine...

quite pleased, all considering...:D

Sounds wonderful. Sometimes nights like that can keep you slogging through the hard parts for months and months.... Congratulations to all.

Any chance of videos?

you are so right, zhena! i went to bed deliriously happy, woke up the same... still happy. those rare feelings of progress are just... well, they just blow me away, because they are so few and far between.

Samina did an excellent job with her showdance - great combination of all the Standard dances. Sam, ask your pro to check with the gentleman who was videotaping - his name is Paul - he is also a student of his and a really nice guy. Maybe he'll give you a copy.
 
i'll definitely talk to paul about getting a copy. thanks for the suggestion, njdancegirl! :)

(it was so nice to meet you, too :))
