Huntsville Ballroom Dance Invitational

Kira and I competed in the Huntsville Ballroom Dance Invitational this weekend hosted by the Rocket City Dance Club. I recorded our dances and I put a few on YouTube for everyone to see. We stayed in Huntsville at a hotel Friday and Saturday night. We danced in the East Coast Swing, Cha Cha, Rumba, Waltz, Tango, and Foxtrot. We were in the Bronze IV division and won four first places, three second and one third.

The judges were the 2007 Ohio Star Ball Professional Showdance Champions:
Eulia Baranovsky and Steven Dougherty.

We had a pretty good time up there. The people from Rocket City Dance Club and the other dance clubs were awesome, and so were the judges. We from Farleys Ballroom all did pretty well and had a good time.

Ballroom Dancing

Kira got her dream job. She is being trained to be a ballroom dance instructor and I am learning more as well so that I can be her partner. We first started taking beginning ballroom dance lessons from a community class at a Methodist Church. It was a little too basic though, so we went to a more advanced class and they said they are training some new ballroom dance instructors. Kira majored in dance and she is training to teach dance lessons at Farley's Ballroom in Tuscaloosa,

located at 523 Queen City Avenue, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401

Kira will get trained there for a couple weeks and then should start teaching classes. The types of ballroom dances we do are the foxtrot, waltz, swing, rumba, tango, cha-cha, samba, etc.
