tiny but full of energy, danced like a 小妖女.
How come you missed the pro latin final? Did you see the show dance? |

发帖数: 2094 | 3 When will the results be posted on the website? I hate it this time when
they don't have the dancers list in the entry form section; you used to be
able to retrieve results by dancer's name. The US national in Miami in Sept
has that function, so you could check the results at least from the first
few comp days - they posted results fast.
Anybody has the pro latin and pro latin rising start lineups? |

I wish I had seen those standard couples dancing!
今年osb的日程安排对学生来说太差了，我后来才知道原来standard和rhythm的决赛是
在周五晚上。可学生只有周六晚上的票，而且大部分学生都不可能周五傍晚就赶到
Culombus，想买票看也不可能！ |

i think that's free for all student competitors
hey, our team is 8 hours away from columbus, yet most of us made to the

发帖数: 921 | 12 admiring you guys! we only got tickets for Sat, sorry for my ignorance.
But still I would say putting all the finals in one evening show would be
much better. Personally I felt bored after seeing so many rounds of the
same style dancing. |

发帖数: 8282 | 26 That is exactly how their show dances routine tried to demonstrate. Ben
dropped his number plate on the floor and walked out. We will have a new
smooth champions, David/Valentina.
Top teacher didn't mean the best teacher. If a teacher have many competition
entries with their students, he/she may win the top teacher prize. Ben and
Shalene are top teachers for several years at OSB.

发帖数: 2094 | 28 If they are gonna come to Manhattan DS again in 2007, I will bring followers
to them at the final lineup on behalf of you, if you like :)
How does it feel to have competing teachers? Just curious. Do they practice
every day (or do they have time to practice every day)? Are they away for a
month before major competitions? If their regular coach is not Shirley
Ballas, then who do they getting coaching from? |

Earlier, they seldom told the group class students about their competition
schedule. That could make our life difficult. For example, I forgo my lunch
to go to Vaidas' class at noon on Monday. I might end up going straightly
back to work (25 minutes one way) because they are not there.
~~~~~ hey you are so persistent, going to a class during lunch time! |

发帖数: 2094 | 32 I know it sounds weird. The trip was scheduled to visit a friend, but it
turned out the friend has a special physical condition that will not allow
visitors. Another friend is going there for the same reason (who loves dance
too). As we cannot cancel the flight, we may have a small gathering and we
are thinking of going to a dance studio. I mean, if there are teachers in
chicago as strong as, say, max and yulia, it could be worth doing it, right |

发帖数: 332 | 33 This little movie clip made me very happy. They are so good. They are even
better than many college dancers here.
I feel that the routine is a little too dull. The kids could have looked
much better if the formation were a little more complex, and the routine
were fancier. Show team/formation team is all about being fascinating. Doing
the basics just does’t quite cut it (the samba was especially basic if my
memory is serving me correctly). |

发帖数: 2094 | 35 It took me at least 30 seconds to realize these are little chinese kids,
hoho - well it is blurred at the beginning on the faces, and then i was
focusing on the body movement.
Very cute! Look at those rotating little hips ;) Yap, i know which girl you
are talking about. Her rumba is esp. good (arms movement and that little
swivel). Some girls wear little high-heel dance shoes, haha.
It is surprising they could find these many boys to dance!
I know we are all talking about starting latin dance ed |

发帖数: 113 | 48 in the workship, she is much prettier without those on-stage heavy makeup...
plantium blond...
and her upper body movement, which I think is her trademark and seperate her
from other female dancers rest of the fields, is simply incredible. so much
freedom in the movement, yet with great precision and control.
learned a few ladie's showy move, haha... |

发帖数: 2094 | 49 Hey there, did she come to DC to give a workshop? When? What was the focus -
can i ask? I am still racking my brain to write something for their
workshop i went to two weeks ago (focusing on hip rotation in chacha, rumba
and samba).
Maybe you can start from sth, and i can contribute more naturally this way...
