I danced standard.

I ALWAYS scored better in black. Not sure why? But, I think it carries a sort of seriousness. I remember reading somewhere long ago that Maria Manusova always work black because she wanted her dancing to speak for itself. Not all that frilly stuff. Even watching videos, competition heats...

Me too ;)

I would go along. It more than a matter of decoration. Thumbs folded can create a gripping effect (in some not all) which causes tension in the forearm. This can create additional tension in the upper arm, shoulder, neck and so on. This may be what your partner is trying to avoid. So talk to...

How Is this different from before? And who is it likely to have the most impact on?

Merry Christmas to you too :)

We decided to wait and try again with auction next year. It was down in 2014 from previous years.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. From what I remember, when Peter resigned in 2009 USA dance started going downhill. I think he may be the right person to go head to head with other dance organizations because he has dealt with them in the past.

We have a new banner on the way. It will be smaller but not static. Hopefully this will help. As far as non static vs static, we would like to keep all ads static. But that said, we strive to keep Dance Forums free for everyone. There are a lot of behind the scenes costs and the annual auction...
