Last weekend, I competed at the 10th Annual Holy Cross Ballroom Dance Competition with Kailee (Standard events) and Brittney (Latin and Smooth events). Altogether a beautifully run competition, as usual, competing at Holy Cross was a lot of fun. In addition to the dancing itself, there was a photo shoot session in which I posed with Kailee. As for placements, it was a very fruitful competition for us. Read on for full results.

The Schedule
This competition was particularly difficult schedule-wise. It was bad enough that Harvard booked their competition over the date that Holy Cross had chosen well in advance. What made things worse was that I had decided to attend both competitions — on the same weekend — for as many events as possible. This left me with Latin, Standard and Smooth events at Holy Cross on Saturday. I skipped Rhythm at Holy Cross — which is why you don’t see any results for that style in the chart above — in order to be able to catch the championship rounds at Harvard (always a great demonstration of talent) as well as the showcase there.
This is a wonderful recap. On stage participants show their talents, hard work and passion for dancing. This is more of a fun and mind refreshing program.
