Our progress, as well as passion for competitive dancing grew as a result of the excellent coaching received from ourprofessional instructor, Jozsef Parragh. We started competing three years ago as an Amateur couple and are currently ranked 9th in the USA DanceSport Superbowl for Amateur couples. Jozsef and I compete in the Professional/Amateur (Pro/Am) division. We earned the National Runner-Up title for Bronze 10 Dance Championships at Las Vegas in 2003. In 2004, we were selected as one of the top 24 couples in the USA for the Open International Standard team match held in Atlanta.

While winning at a competition is always a thrill, it’s just as much fun and exhilarating to see the progress made at competitions whether you win a trophy or not. That’s why focus for this column will be more about the journey than the destination. I will be introducing twelve topics over the next year that hopefully will peak your interest about competing. If there are specific areas you want to learn more about let us know. Watch for the next edition, “Is Competing for You & How to Get Started?” Until then, keep on dancing!
