Fifth Element?

That’s the movie

Multipass?

and that’s another great line from the movie

Do you guys want your brownie points with or without several grams of finely ground - um, ... stuff... melted into the butter before mixing in the rest of the ingredients and baking?

IMO, the best competition locator is here: http://www.ballroomguide.com/comp/competition_locator.html

It does allow filtering by location, as well as by governing organization.

All I see at that link is the list of the 2020 comps.

Yeah, the 2021 stuff is listed as "TBA" right now. Covid contingencies have definitely cratered the page's utility.

The Heritage is being held in Atlanta this year. I thought it was always at The Grove Park Inn in Asheville.

From the Heritage site:

"For the past 33 years the Heritage Classic has enjoyed the historically unique Omni Grove Park Inn resort in Asheville North Carolina as our venue. Due to the Corona virus North Carolina restrictions, we will be unable to use this fabulous resort in 2021, however the Omni Hotel corporation has made available their signature property in Atlanta Georgia."

Another comment recently somewhere on the forum indicated that the NDCA is not sanctioning virtual comps.

The NDCA site lists the Eastern US as sanctioned; the Eastern US site says they are virtual.

Sigh... the pricing sheet is password protected. Who wants to pose as a studio and procure it for us?

I noticed that too! Now I understand your surprise in August, when the Heart of America virtual comp had the price list posted out there for everyone to see.

I feel like this needs to be saved for posterity. I assume your side hustle is some sort of marketing...

At DanceForum Studios, you will become part of the magical realm of ballroom dance. You will learn that it’s not just an expensive hobby for bored rich people, as some people think. Learning to dance will show you how to connect your body with your mind and your soul; you will remember what it’s like to feel your emotions; and you will learn how to express those emotions through body movement. You will experience the “first love” rush of NRE (New Relationship Energy [credits to @worddancer for introducing me to that term]), and that energy will inspire every other aspect of your life. It will be a journey of unexpected self-discovery. You will become friends with kindred spirits - people who think so much like you do that it will seem as though you’ve known them forever, and who understand your journey and support you through it in ways that no one else possibly can.​

​

The journey is the reward. Take the first step now.​

You nailed it.... Depending on how my last lesson/comp went I alternate between "ballroom is life changing!" to "it's just an expensive hobby for bored rich people!"

I’m referring to the new relationship with DANCE here - NOT with your dance teacher!!! I thought that would be obvious but apparently it was not. Sorry for any confusion!

We don’t need no shtinking badges rolls royces. We have wings of JOY to transport us throughout this magical realm.
