Dance Competition Results:
Happy New Year!

I can't think of a better way to have brought in 2009 than in attending the Spotlight Dance Challenge. It was a fantastic experiance, and I highly recommend it.

Soon it will be time for me to move up to advanced level Jack & Jill competition. Just 1 more World Swing Dance Council points to go!

With my 1st place Intermediate Jack & Jill win, I have earned a total of 24 intermediate WSDC points. I'll be moved up to advanced when I reach 25 intermedaite points.

In the last few years, I've embraced numerous opportunities to DJ dance competitions which I otherwise would have competed in. I really enjoy dancing in Jack & Jill contests with randomly selected partners to music that is kept secret from us until the competition starts.
