BELOW...this was not a dance competition, but it was right up there for us. When you go to Paris, besides visiting the Eiffel Tower, you must dance at the world famous Moulin Rouge, and we were there doing a solo dance while the band played. Then as the music ended, the audience cheered. What a special night for us...WOW! 
 
...then the real show began!  At least we had our special moment in the spotlight... how many people can say that?

In addition to competing at Swing Events across the US, we also competed in two major country dance circuits
both nationally and internationally...
 
UCWDC...United Country Western Dance Council
ACDA......American Country Dance Association (formerly known as Fun Country)
 
 
As of  JANUARY, 2012 we are officially RETIRED from Dance Competition...it was a GREAT 20 years! (1993-2012)
Now we travel without dance costumes, boots & hat...and
we still enjoy social dancing!
