What a pleasure it is for me to comment on the Professional Latin at the Ballroom Beach Bash in San Diego! As a new organizer, I travel the world experiencing our wonderful industry in a completely new way — paying attention to details, and appreciating the tremendous amount of work that goes into organizing a dance competition. Every organizer tries to find a niche for their comp, something special that sets it apart from the rest. Beach Bash pulled this off with flying colors! A beach vacation theme with a relaxed, casual atmosphere was kept up though the whole event. Light, fun and spontaneous mood was a perfect reflection of the organizers’ personalities, which made the whole thing feel organic and never forced. But don’t be fooled by the fun theme: the entries were huge and the pro events were all serious business and highly contested!

Congratulations to Wayne and Donna Eng and their entire team for presenting yet another fabulous Emerald Ball. This is the first time I’ve had the privilege of judging, and all I can say is WOW, what a spectacle. The entire week was filled with amazing dancing at every level in every style. The Professional Ballroom was an excellent event featuring familiar faces, returning faces and new shining stars. The style is perched on the brink of exploding, something it’s needed to do for some time.

Hosted by Andrew Phillips, this competition was a beautiful event. As I appreciate old-world sophistication, the venue was great with beautiful, renovated rooms and a beautiful ballroom decorated and adorned with beautiful flowers. It was my pleasure to write the article on the Professional Latin, so here it is.
