Holy Cross 2008 Ballroom Competition Recap

Results from last weekend’s ballroom competition at Holy Cross are now up. We didn’t do so hot overall, but given that we’re in a new level, I think that’s alright for a little while. Read on for the usual results table. Sorry, no pictures or video from this one. We’ll be sure to get some footage from our next competition at Harvard next weekend.

  • So everything here is silver, yes?

    *subscribes*

  • Everything here is silver. I anticipate that we won’t ever compete bronze again, even at competitions with no timeout for bronze. At this point we (a) feel like silver dancers, and (b) love all of the new silver steps we’ve learned so far! It’s no fun to limit syllabus to bronze, now, is it?

  • 5th and 6th place in Rhythm, eh? Huh… I have… umm… oh yeah, thats right 0 places in Rhythm/Latin (and 0 for everything at Holy Cross) I really have to start making bets with you, man.

  • It’s okay, Jon. I didn’t place either.
