DANCE EVENTS & PHOTOS

TV Show "Your Chance to Dance"

picture of Mark, Veronica and Charles on TV September 17, 2010 - Country Music Television (CMT) televised an episode of the NEW dance show "Your Chance to Dance". Veronica, Mark and Charles were contestants on this show. Although it was a bit nerve-racking performing in front of a television audience, it was great fun and a wonderful experience. Many of you "tuned-in" to watch the TV show and enjoyed the dancing! But...if you missed the show, check out the link below and watch the video.

Summer Showcase 2010

picture of Summer Showcase Charles & Nicole August 7, 2010 - For this Summer's Showcase, we made a few changes. The Show was moved to a Saturday and it was held during the afternoon (rather than evening). Everyone seemed to enjoy these changes as well as the Showcase itself.

We saw great performances in Bolero, Waltz, Swing and Tango. There was a group Tango/Salsa routine as well as the usual solos. Congrats to everyone on a wonderful job!

Sushi Party

Hot sake was also available on request.

The show that evening included a Waltz exhibtion, a Tai Chi martial art exhibtion and our comical sumo wrestling. If you missed the Sumo show, click on the YouTube link below:
