This last weekend was DanceSport. Which, for those who don't know, is a huge dance competition. People come from all over the nation to compete. It ranges from like age 4 to...older people haha. We had the top 4 in the nation come and perform. It seriously is like the best thing ever. I wish I could write better about how much I love it and how awesome it is but I am so sleep deprived I know that this isn't going to be very coherent.
I competed in three events: triple-step swing, quickstep and waltz. I didn't make it very far in any of my events. That's the joy about competing in ballroom. You rely so much on your partner and if they mess up then...that's the end of that. I fell during quickstep. It wasn't my finest moment. At least it's not uncommon to fall while dancing that...well at least in our class.
My favorite thing about DanceSport was watching cabaret. I recorded my favorite couple and they actually won overall! Go here to watch it on youtube. I also loved watching the little kids compete. They get all dressed up and they are decked out and they dance better than I do! I had a favorite couple that I got to watch all weekend, 632. They are seriously just the cutest little thing ever. We kept trying to guess how old they were and I think we decided around 7. But they dance as well as like the ballroom team members!
Anyway it was an awesome weekend. I have never listened to so much Paso Doble music before in my life and Michael Buble. And when I close my eyes I still see sequences and feathers and rhinestones. I just love ballroom so much!
