Boston Dance Challenge Weekend
Great weekend in Boston. I love all the Boston Events. I have such a close bond with Boston. Not just because I started dating my lovely fiance at a Boston event. But because Boston has been supporting me as long as I’ve been dancing WCS. I’m in Boston so often, many people think that’s where I reside.
This weekend has always been structured around me teaching a weekend long intensive filled with theory, drills, concepts on movement and partnering, and dance critiques. This year it has grown to include my partner Jennifer and also other local pros and instructors.
The event has grown and all the divisions were large this year.
It felt like a workshop weekend with a big event feel.
We were blessed with great Djs and great social dancing.
I had so much fun with all the students sharing technique and concepts. I love weekends like this that I can take my time to express myself throughout the weekend.
Jennifer was excited to be a part of this year’s BDC and was welcomed with open arms.
It was a great sight to see everyone standing behind her watching intently as she talked about styling and technique.
The highlight of the weekend was putting on a show with friends Michael Keibasa and Jill DeMarco Saturday night. No one expected us to switch partners as Jennifer lead and Jill followed and Michael and I switched back and forth. The girls then honored me with a dance of Double Trouble closing the night and everyone laughing and cheering.
There weren’t enough hours in the day to squeeze enough lessons and social dancing in.
Next year we’ll try to plan for more.
Thanks to Jon Schimmel for a great weekend.
