Planning for 2018!

Thanks for your feedback. I was thinking about NYDF, but now, maybe not. I haven't done Milennium or Ohio in awhile but I loved Emerald this year and I'm going to be doing Embassy. I like the idea of Hawaii....but sounds like maybe it should be a separate vacation.

My biggest complaint with NYDF was how the awards were done. They did them in a private room with no lineup.

They may do things differently now though.

I still would pick Empire or Manhattan over it though if you had to pick an NYC competition.
 
i want stiff competition, a lot of people in my level/age group, and good customer service from the comp. A well-run comp is a big plus. I don't go for the outside activities, the competitor gifts, dinners, the amenities, what have you. When i determine i can do a competition, i'll try to find a way to include my family for something, but it's not a requirement.

come on.... Anyone here that has ever come up and said HI can attest that I love getting to meet you all!

But seriously what do you want out of competition? Do you want a good city to explore with nightlife or shopping? A state/city you have never been too? Stiff competition? Gentle competition? Competition with good pro-am party? Theme nights?

I've competed a lot so I was curious to see what comps people like. I usually do a mixture of big and small comps, and I often add a couple of days just for vacation if it's in a fun city. I'm not really that into theme nights or ProAm parties though I will do nightclub night for the first time ever just because it looks like fun. I'm willing to travel anywhere if it's for a well run competition.

I've done Manhattan and liked it. I'd like to do Empire too since it's more centrally located.
 
Ballroom beach bash!!!!! Embassy heritage agree. Millennium agree.

A lot to do on off days at heritage

Beach bash has the added bonus of if you don't like your marks you can spike a volleyball down the judges throats on Sunday morning during trash talk volleyball !!!

I've already heard good things about the Beach Bash. I've always had something that weekend though.
 
I have also heard that Beach Bash is a lot of fun. Everyone I know that has gone loved it. I hope to put it on my list.

I would also like to go to Galaxy, simply because I have always wanted to stay at that Biltmore hotel. Has anyone here been?

I guess I am more into the place and the experience and the thrill of just being able to dance, more than the competition, at this stage of my life.

Any opinions about San Francisco Open? I was also looking at that one.

My pro competed with his professional partner there last year, and he spoke very highly of it. We did not schedule it this year only because he did not get enough of his students to sign on to make it cost efficient.
 
Last year was our first year at La Classique and i'm fairly certain it's the largest Canadian comp, for pro-am at least? Nothing close to that size on the west coast for sure. We don't dance pro-am but it was a fabulous comp and I thought the ballroom looked gorgeous.
