Matt and I (accompanied by the incredibly wonderful and ever-faithful Krista) went to Binghamton on Saturday for their ballroom competition! We only stayed for the morning - I had a little bridal shower/girls night for my dear friend Laura that I needed to get back for - so we were only able to dance Smooth (American Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and Viennese Waltz) and Standard (International Waltz, Quickstep, Foxtrot, Tango, and Viennese Waltz).
(Here we're awaiting the results! Clearly I'm wishing we were doing Rhythm... Matt's just plain serious about it.)

We placed 1st in Gold Smooth Waltz/Tango and 2nd in Gold Smooth Foxtrot/Viennese Waltz - giving us 2nd overall for Smooth! We were definitely excited about that... :)
We didn't do too bad in Standard either, though! There were more couples (and definitely some that specialized in Standard more than we do) - we ended up with 6th in Gold Standard Waltz/Quickstep and 7th in Gold Standard Foxtrot/Tango.

Krista took video of all of the dances! (I know... there's a lot... I added them all more so that it's easier for us to reference them when we're looking for what to work on...)
It took a little bit for her to get the gist of my crazy camera (focusing on a moving target is kind of a nightmare with it) so a bunch of them start off a little blurry but they eventually focus! I didn't bother cutting them at all - again, it's useful for us to see the alignment, etc. :)

P.S. On a spontaneous whim, I decided to wear my blue dress instead of the new pink and white one... I forgot how much I LOVE this dress... It might just be my favorite...
