Professional Staff Shows

Obviously this was a different event setup. Because of the new scheduling, a two-day event became one. Moreover, everyone had to dance on Sunday to participate. In order to make this work, there were more people on the dance floor at once. Likewise, it was much more busy for the teachers dancing with students. Nevertheless, they did a great job during the heats, and changing quickly for the professional shows. Although it was a compressed schedule, we still had a great finale for the professionals to show off their skills. Of course this is inspiring to see, but it also is great marketing for the studios. Selfishly, it makes for great photo marketing too. Enjoy!

From youth dancers, college-age students, to seasoned dance enthusiasts, there was a large range of participants in this competition. Seeing that so many of this diverse group came together to dance was inspiring! Undeniably this is a goal for organizers Lee and Veronica. Because of their outreach efforts to other studios, they have grown this competition over the last few years. Given that they know how to run a smooth competition, it is easy to see how they continue to keep this tradition going!

Obviously you want to dance well at any competition. However, this was also a National Qualifying Event. When you dance well here, you may earn qualification for the USA Dance National Championships. Thus, the dance floor was full for most of the weekend. As a result, it was a combination of fun dancing, and serious competition from the dancers.

Thanks to Jack Reinhold from the USA Dance Mid-Easter Chapter for inviting me and my team. The Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center was a high end backdrop for this event. Obviously they needed a good team to pull off such a large event smoothly.
