On the 3rd of December, 2017, the Ballroom/Smooth & Latin/Rhythm students attended Always Dancin's Holiday Rendezvous Showcase, held at Deluca's Place in the Park, in Lorain, Ohio. It was a great event and despite running over by almost 1 1/2 hours, we all had a great time participating in it.

Our 2017 Halloween Party was a success!

This year, my students and I hit the Cleveland Dancesport Challenge rather light, but that didn't matter. Here are two videos of the winners of their respective scholarship categories being interviewed after their wins.

Releve: dancer rises onto the tips of the toes

Arabesque: dancer stands on one leg, with the other leg extended horizontally backwards

Shuffle: A quick dragging or scraping movement of the feet in tap dancing

Brush: swinging of the foot (forward, backward or diagonally side) hitting only the ball tap in tap dancing
