2013 RPI Dancesport Competition

5/6/2013

0 Comments

 
Let's just say, there is NOTHING like competing at home.  :)  The best part this year?  Cousinly support!!! Thank you a billion times to Sara, Chris, Mia, and Alex for coming out to cheer us on!  (And yes, you heard me right! Us = Ali + Mom + Dad!!  They were great...) :)

This year's competition was a HUGE success - even though we had two other competitions plan their's for the same date as ours - and we had a TON of fun. We actually got to spend some time with competitors from the other schools, too which was awesome!  (Isn't making friends fun?)

Matt and I did Open American Smooth (Waltz/Tango/Foxtrot/Viennese Waltz) and Open American Rhythm (Cha Cha/Rumba/Swing/Bolero/Mambo).

Pictures speak louder than words, maybe?  Here are some highlights from the day!


Setting up for the Waltz, our first dance of the day - Sara caught me looking over at them! :)

Then it was time for Tango.  I think this is possibly our best dance of the entire day... Plus, it's my favorite... :)

And thanks to all of the wonderful people taking pictures, we have our opening from all kinds of different angles!

This one is DEFINITELY one of my favorites... AMAZING line!!   (Especially impressive once you realize that I'm actually completely off the ground... super intense, too!)

All in all? AMAZING day dancing :)  We took first in Smooth and second in Rhythm!

And thank you again to those of you who let me steal these pictures from!! <3

I also managed to get some pictures of Mom and Dad!  They did GREAT and managed to get a few call-backs! :)

(I'm pretty sure these are all from Rumba.)
