News from Last Years Event :
Our New Venue, the Beautiful Nile Country Club got Rave Reviews
It is said that change is good. That, however, doesn't make it any less scary.
To move an event that had enjoyed over a decade at it's previous location was indeed a big step. In the end, it turned out to be a good decision.
Guests came up to us all day long to express their approval of the new venue. Even our feature couple, Decho and Bree, who had featured the event at it's old location three years earlier, highly approved. In Decho's own words, "This venue is perfect for a Ballroom event. It's very nice."
Sure, there were a few glitches, but, nothing that can't be fixed next time. Overall, the move was well received. Here is your link to view the Competitor's pictures

The 26th NW Dance Extravaganza had it All
If for some crazy reason you couldn't make it to the the event, you missed out on a wonderful day of dance!
This year's Extravaganza had it all. Several team demos, free Jack & Jill contests, a free West Coast Swing workshop, Argentine Tango demo, Standard Ballroom demo, Latin demos, Theater Arts demos, W.C. Swing demo, Chicago Style Steppin demo, and plenty of social dancing. What a shame if you had to miss all this! It truly was a lot of bang for your buck!

Your Dinner Show Performances
We would like to thank 12 very special dancers who put on what was probably the BEST Dinner Show ever! Keep in mind that this special showcase of dancing was exclusive to those who had dinner tickets.
Our many thanks to:
DECHO KRAEV & BREE WATSON. Decho & Bree gave our dinner guests their first glimpse of the exquisite dancing of this Nationally ranked couple. Their Theater Arts Bolero was to die for!
MICHELLE BADION & WLADIMIR PINO. Michelle and Vlad's Argentine Tango demo was quite unique and more than filled the bill for this intriguing dance style.
JONATHAN & CAROLYN HUGGETT. British Columbia's Sr. Standard Champs had the biggest challenge. Standard dancers in general prefer a really big floor, but Jonathan and Carolyn handled the task with grace and elegance.
NORBERT TESTON & JESSICA LINDSEY. This Latin couple from Portland just get better and better every time we see them. They have now developed a very good repoire with their audience.
NATHAN FONTES & DELAYNA ROWE. What a beautiful Theater Arts Waltz solo this local couple performed. And, yes, it's true. They have just become engaged to be married. Congratulations guys!
ROBB BRYAN & BRIANNE GREEN. Our featured instructors for the afternoon complimentary workshop came back in the evening with a little lead and follow impromptu number which was quite enjoyable.
That was our Dinner Show line up at the event, and we would like to thank you all for a delightful showcase of dancing!
