Chattanooga DanceSport Choo-Choo Challenge Dance Competition

 

Choo Choo Challenge
Ballroom Dance Competition

Sunday, May 17, 2009

What a tremendous success we had hosting our very own first ballroom dance competition!  We had four visiting studios and over 700 entries.

Next year, we will be expanding our competition into a 2-day event. 

In fact, our event was so impressive that Eddie Ares is adding our competition into his list of Newcomers Ball competitions next year.

We will be part of a rather large circuit of competitions, and it's very exciting.

Many thanks to all of our volunteers.  Without their help, we would not have been able to do what we did!  Thank you everyone for your support.

remely exciting
