I've been thinking about this, and I'm not a fan of this change to the membership rules. If I pay for a year-long membership then I should get a year...
Are you questioning the power of Dance Forums? :)
I don't see anything wrong with Casayoto vigorously disagreeing with a policy USAD intends to implement. Just because a person doesn't like a...
They own Master Dance in Palatine, IL (north of Schaumburg). I highly recommend them. My partner and I have taken lessons from Katja for several...
I was taught that the ladies right wrist should be close to straight. This makes sense to me as it creates an unbroken line in the follow's arm,...
Is there anything risky about accepting a money order but holding shipment of the dress until the payment clears? The allows the seller to pay via...
I agree with you. If an outfit makes it difficult to see the dancing then there is not much the judges can do about that--you can't judge what you...
Alex's costume looks like a smoking jacket to me. I don't know if that was the inspiration or not, but it would seem to match an old Hollywood...
Unfortunately, I think by bringing up Katja's costume I made this discussion about whether or not people like that particular costume, which I am...
huh, it's really weird to watch a dance with no preconceived notions of what it should look like. I like the couple that won. They looked like they...

Judges are only human and they will have subjective opinions regarding costumes. But judges also are professionals and should (in my opinion) look...
Yeah, I saw that after I posted yesterday and was a bit surprised.
Kind of a unique costume that Katja's wearing. I like it, though, very Old Hollywood and glamorous. www....
When I first started dancing I noticed a huge difference between practice shoes and heels. But now its not such a big deal. It does change my height...
I think a lot of people in the bottom 25% would still choose to compete at nationals. Yes, staying home and doing local competitions would be...
That's a super cute style on Amanda. Short hair that is straight seems to work really well for latin/rhythm--it flies around and accentuates the...
Does competition proficiency level really dictate what you focus on during your lessons? Also, don't opinions as to what skills a dancer should...
