Last weekend Lina and I joined the UConn Ballroom Team for the 17th Annual Harvard Invitational ballroom competition. While we did pretty poorly overall, I honestly think that we did better than I had expected.
We didn’t bother with any pictures or video for this competition, but you can definitely expect some for the MIT Open next month! Read on for a full recap including the usual results breakdown. Continue reading ‘Harvard 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.

Results and discussion follow, while video will be delayed for some time due to technical difficulties. Continue reading ‘UConn 2007 Ballroom Competition Recap’
Last weekend, MIT held its 2007 Open Ballroom Dance Competition conveniently just ten minutes from my new apartment. It was a real pleasure to see fellow teammates and competitors from around the country, and everyone had a blast!

Lina and I went to MIT for their ballroom dancing competition held on April 22nd and 23rd. At the two-day competition, often referred to as the Super-Bowl of ballroom competitions, we competed in all nineteen bronze-level dances that they held, and Lina even competed in four silver-level dances with Arturo Mayorga. Competition was fairly stiff given the sheer number of couples that we were up against for each dance, but we still managed to do fairly well.
Pictures are already posted online. Apparently while my camera was floating around, someone took a video of our American Waltz, so that’s up on the gallery as well.
