Orange Blossom Ball 4/12/2008


Why you should compete!
  • It's fun (even if you're not interested in being a hardcore competitive dancer)!
  • It's a great opportunity to get dancing experience and see lots of other dancers in action--from newcomer up to championship level!
  • Represent your team!
  • Hang out with and get to know your fellow teammates and watch and/or participate in the team match (a collection of "silly events," such as Cross-Dressing Cha Cha and Over-the-Top Tango, in which the teams compete against each other)
