Actually, you can probably still dispute the credit card charge. I would send the email to the vendor telling them you're calling the credit card company in you don't hear from them in 24 hours. Even if the transaction was in March, you have lots of proof showing it never was delivered.
USDC is nationals. win a title in all levels. You can be the US Open Champion. That's a big deal. the other one is Ohio - sure, it's not a "national" title, but anyone who knows anything about the sport knows it's the big one.
Or you could watch a ton of YouTube videos and just do your own... I've never had my makeup done. When I wanted some cool new eye look, I find Pinterest pictures or check out YouTube videos

They probably didn't have the rights to some of the music to post on YouTube and you tube pulled the video.
So in order to post it, they had to sub with general domain music
Back to the original topic. I had a very fancy name coach tell me that heel leads were fine in bolero - "because they're more natural." Uh, no. Probably best to keep your coaching to smooth;)
I think because he started without his shirt, so you get over the initial "ooh" and then just watch his muscles working... Which was awesome. I think the stripping off the shirt or opening the shirt mid routine feels a little gimmicky.
