Congratulations to our Ballroom Dance Competition Winners from the Embassy Ball
Our ballroom dancing winners just came back from the Embassy Ballroom Dance Championships in Orange County.
- Guillermo danced with Valerie Addas in the World Pro/Am Championships and were bronze medalists in American Rhythm and finalists in American Smooth.
- Guillermo danced with Yukiko Fukushima in the World Pro/Am Cabaret Championships and were Silver Medalists.
Pro/Am events are where amateurs dance with their professional dance teachers. I encourage all of you to consider competitive ballroom dancing. You will be amazed at how quickly your dancing will improve when you have a goal.
Congratulations to our ballroom dancing winners. We’re proud of your achievements!
