We drove to Rexburg at the end of February to attend Brooklyn's first ballroom dance competition...had no idea what to expect...it was very well-run, the judges had hand-held keypads that immediately posted scores on the main board for the dancers to see. They handled, perhaps, a thousand dancers with great efficiency. Fantastic!
Couple # 115 takes the floor...to perform what I would term free-style...no choreography, just listen to the music and DANCE!
Brooklyn did so well in the competition...they had to perform foxtrot, samba, waltz, swing and chacha...each dance was done in its own separate competition with judges placing dancers into quarterfinal, semifinal and final rounds each time.
In a different type of competition, the dancers wore costumes and performed choreographed dances...Brooklyn and partner on the right.
Each member of the team received a Gold Medal
...and the waltz competition ended with a first place trophy!!!
