Who?
All studios, students, and teachers in the NW region. What? A Showcase dedicated to displaying the wide variety of Ballroom Dancing talent the Northwest can provide, along with a dinner and show in the evening. When? Saturday, April 11th Where? At the Verve Ballroom in Lynnwood. Why? We wanted to create an environment where all of the dancers, despite what studio they belong to, can mingle. We all have the same passion, Ballroom Dance, and we wanted to continue to foster this dedication. Students usually only get to see each other in the tense environment of a competition, and we wanted to give them the chance to appreciate each other's dancing ability and get to know each other a little better. We also wanted to praise and reward the fantastic instructors that provide dance lessons in the Northwest Region. |
Puget Sound Platinum ShowcaseSo many unique, talented, and dedicated studios, teachers, and students exist in the area around Seattle, and we would like to take this Showcase as an opportunity to celebrate how hard everyone has worked. This event will encompass both International and American style, Latin and Standard. The passion for Ballroom Dance unites all of us, and we wanted to give everyone the chance to get to know their fellow dancers.
