Ask questions, meet dancers, and be part of the conversation.
The competition went very well. We placed 1st in just about everything (even though most of the time we were the only ones in the category.) But what really made me excited was my instructor told me that the whole time I dance Int. Latin (in which I was the only entry so we were by ourselves on the dance floor) one of the professional judges as well as one of the Open Latin finalists in the Ohio Star Ball, Jurga Papalyte, was watching closely with a smile on her face. I didn't believe it until I replayed the DVD from the competition and she really was. When she performed later on that night, my instructor told me she probably did that because my dancing is similar to her style. Maybe I reminded her of how she danced when she was younger? Anyway it was so much fun. This was actually my first competition…and hopefully the beginning of many, many more to come. The one thing I know for sure is that I will never quit. I'm too addicted now to ever let go of dancing!
I promised I would post some pics and so here they are:
