Day 1 of the 2007 competition and Dance Camp is at an end and what a fabulous day it was!
Let's start with Dance Camp.......Michael Mead and Toni Redpath were our guest instructors today and I can tell you, everyone learned something and had a terrific time and lots of fun in the process. The ladies were raving about Toni's exercise class (the first class of the day). Look for a future DVD shhowcasing Toni's extraordinary teaching technique. To explore Michael and Toni's current DVD collection, visit www.dancevision.com. Tomorrow will be another fun filled day with 13 time, undefeated United States Rhythm Champions, Bob Powers and Julia Gorchakova in the a.m. and world-class competitor and coach Ron Montez in the afternoon.
On to the comp.........We held our 2nd annual Pro/Am Invitational Team Match with Vivo Dance Center taking top honors. Also in the running were Londance and Promenade.
We had our Pre-Teen and Junior Amateur Latin competition this evening......I swear I have never seen so many incredibly talented kids all in one place.....way to go guys!!
As promised, Dancing With The Stars favorite Tony Dovolani was on hand, signing autographs and taking photos with the younger competitors.....I've only seen kids clamor for the attention of an individual to this extent in one other place.....watch out Mickey Mouse......Tony's in the house!
Also putting in appearances tonight were DWTS alum Alex Mazo (season 1 champion), Edyta Sliwinska and Brian Fortuna.
The highlight of the evening had to be the Salsa Formation choreographed by Salomon Rivera of LatinHips.com......what made this routine stand out above the other entrants in today's events? The 10 dancers on the floor tonight were from the Braille Institute of anaheim......that's right....everybody dancing was blind.....and amazing!
And last, but certainly not least, 1996 Florida Gators Heisman Trophy winnner and NFL quarterback Danny Wuerfell and his wife Jessica will be guest of Fred Astaire Ft. Walton Beach Top teacher Joe Trovato on Sunday evening.
Well dance enthusiasts, that's all for this blogger.
Until next time.
Renee for Wayne
