Hope everyone had a beautiful holiday season and I know it was hard getting back into things, but here we are almost done with January already! How the time flies, it is truly amazing. I have my first ballroom competition coming up on February 12 at the Irvine Marriott called “California Open”. After my Christmas showcase I put on at my ballroom studio, I got a wonderful response from my students, their parents, my friends and family about my performance, it really gave me the boost I needed to just work work work to be the best I could be for this first time out on the floor. My partner has decided for the first few competitions to start me out at a little lower of a level so I will stand out and look polished and clean. After that, I will then change my routine and go into an open division, which allows me to do more steps that relate to ballet/lyrical background. In the american smooth divison, which is what I am competing in…there are only 4 dances in the category (waltz, tango, foxtrot and viennese waltz). I will keep you all updated an post some videos from my christmas show so you can see, but for now here are a couple of pictures.
