competition results

I know alot of you are probably sick of hearing about our results, but oh well... here goes:

August 12-14 Empire State Dancesport Championship. This was held in Manhattan, in a hotel on times square. It was really convenient for us that it was so close so that we could just drive in each night to dance. Friday night was rising star smooth, we placed 1st. Saturday night was show dance, we placed 1st, sunday night we danced both the theater arts compulsory event, which we placed 1st in, and also open pro smooth, which we placed 3rd. Overall, not a bad weekend!!

August 19-21 Nevada Star Ball in Las Vegas Nevada. It was really nice because we were able to stay at a condo in Henderson that was only 5 minutes from the competition!! We had a heck of a time getting to Vegas since our flight kept getting delayed, but we made it safe and sound. Saturday night we danced rising star smooth, we placed 1st. Sunday night we danced 3 rounds of open pro smooth (which is alot) and then ran into the dressing room and quickly changed to do our cabaret, it was EXHAUSTING. we placed 6th in the open pro smooth (which we weren't happy about) and 1st in show dance (which we were extremely happy about!!). We also received some INCREDIBLY EXCITING news, however we will have to wait to tell you about them until they are 100% official... so stay tuned!

August 25-28 Capital Dancesport Championships in Washington DC. This comp was crazy because there was an earthquake only 2 days before it started and there was a hurricane going on during the competition. kinda crazy!!! Thursday night we placed 1st in theater arts compulsory division. Friday night we placed 1st in rising star smooth. Saturday night we placed 2nd in show dance and 3rd in open professional smooth (which was an awesome placing!!!). In addition to placing so well we also received some AMAZING news... which i will tell you about in our next post (and yes, this is different then previously mentioned).

we still have 2 more big competitions coming up. this weekend we are going to LA for the embassy ball and then directly from there we are flying to Orlando, FL for the United States Dancesport Championships, which is a really big deal, so stay tuned to see how we do. we aren't expecting to have incredible results since its our first year, but we have been having some great results lately so you never know what could happen....
