Erci and I attended Yuletide Ball Championships with our teachers from The Ballroom, Darryl Adams and Michele Kearney. The championship is typically 3-4 days of competitive dancing and showcase exhibitions. There is also always a New Year’s Eve Gala Ball, which we attended with Ann Marlow and Dan Van Bey. The Gala is always lots of fun, and it tends to be a ballroom dancer reunion of people who have danced together occasionally for years and years. We especially enjoyed the before and after parties with friends in the hotel.
If you like ballroom dance at all, I highly recommend this relaxed, fun, and affordable event. Put it on your calendar for next year. It looks like New Year’s Eve is on a Saturday in 2011, the championship could be before the Gala Ball on Thursday – Saturday, or after Sunday through Monday.
I hope you all rang in the new year with similar joy and fun. Happy new year!
