Of all those running for USA Dance offices in this upcoming election, have any developed a written, specific position on Dancesport in the Olympics? Or OLYMPIAN DANCEPORT: gods in togas dancing boto fogos.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: Mr 4, I respect you so much, and you always offer wisdom/intelligent bot mots, but 1) most often, the rules are there are no...

^^^^^^^^^^^^ That stuff is LEGIT.

Six years later I'm still pissed that I, then a true bronze level dancer, lost a closed bronze scholarship to a woman who later won the open gold scholarship. And no one felt any shame about that level of dancing down - not get, not her pro, not the organizers. Even DanceBeat had nothing...

I appreciate growth. And I also agree with @Bailamosdance about how probably not many "am/am couples are very interested or enthusiastic about trying to compete with the NDCA." Having danced pro-am for a number of years, and having switched to amateur via USA Dance, there's nothing about pro-am...

Agree with all of this.

They are, and they do: /fistbump, dlliba. I'm not actually changing. But dangit if my nose is out of joint about a few things. I've already read today that the IOC has released the sports listed for the 2020 games and DanceSport isn't listed there either. Also, we need more judges on panels who...

"...WDSF events...WDSF at the same event... WSDF... WSDF..." Here's where, if I could go back in time to eight years ago, when I was choosing which dances to focus on, I would not have chosen an American style. :beye:

Thanks - I will have him look into D by K! Thank you for the suggestion!

A couple of questions I have that I do not want to be taken as "she's shooting down the idea", but questions that merely continue to move the conversation forward: 1) When we discuss Internationally-held competitions, and attempt to compare what they do vs. what we could do, I can't help but...

He'd wanted a generic-ish white shirt to trade in and out with his black shirt. He's been searching for years to find a designer who is good with 1) his particular shape (he's 5'7 and stocky, so @MissSilly not Mirko! :rofl:) and 2) actual business doings - he's emailed a number of designers who...

There are various groups on FB discussing breaking Nationals into two separate events - one for youth, juniors, and adults, and the other for the Seniors. I am not sure how the financials of having two Nationals events would work out.

UPDATE: He's getting his money back. He sent an epic message and so... now we're right back where we started. We have a comp in two months and I'll be the one dancing with the topless guy. :eek:

UPDATE: So the shirt arrived. It looks terrible. It's unfinished. She's given it a satin band in front around the neckline, but as you can see, she just upturned the fabric of the jacket rather than finish the jacket all the way around with the same material. It looks like the hem of a...

Like many of you probably did, I just got and read the latest email from USA Dance. What do you think of these proposals? July 23, 2016 To All DanceSport Athletes: The DanceSport Council of USA Dance has recently adopted important new policies and program changes that will directly...

Good grief, this is exactly like what just happened to my partner - a designer took his money and then - radio silence. How do these designers stay in business when they have such lousy business practices?!

I think Mr 4 styles is absolutely right: placements are beyond your locus of control. You have zero control over everything except YOU. So make your goal about YOUR dancing. My goal has always been to get out there and dance the best that I can on that day. Sometimes the two go together - We...

Thank you, Loki! I paid a lot of money once upon a time in order to become so wise! :hilarious:

As a former pro-am dancer, and a am-am dancer for several years... I think they are indeed totally different animals. One is a very, very expensive animal. Not everyone can afford to get into that zoo. :) There are several local pro-am comps in my area (a few on the National-level) and the...

Your first post was more focused on pro-am, but this post of yours seems to indicate you're maybe talking about am-am comps and being uncontested there. Previous advice about looking at O2CM for who has already registered is a good idea for both pro-am and am-am comps. You could also visit the...
