Gala Ball 2013

Gala ball this year was held at the beautiful Grand Ballroom.

It was a memorable night as we won both the Adult 16+ and Senior 35+ Championships. No dancers have won both titles before, so it was a special accomplishment for us and we are very proud to be the first!

Homecoming 2013

We arrived in Vancouver 2 days before Snowball Classic!

It was an important competition for us for two reasons. First, it is the qualifier for the 2013 Canadian closed Championship. Secondly, it is our first competition back home after six months training in Italy. The amount of pressure and and expectation on us is tremendous, and we have learned to be mentally strong in these situations. We won our first Snowball title in Senior one. We also were the second highest placing BC couple in the Adult category!
