The Yuletide Ball Championships 2011 December 31st & January 1st

This year StudioDNA was pleased to attend this wonderful Comp. which was held at the JW Marriott in DC. It was a great dance event decorated in Holiday style. Most of us went to dinner at Cieba's in DC to celebrate and ring in the New Year! Although the flu bug had knocked many of us off our feet, we danced and smiled and made pretty and did a great job in spite of it. What a way to welcome 2011.

John brought Katy (her first comp), Karen, Patty, and Dian to dance. Michelle brought Karl & Matt. Unfortunately Matt injured his knee and was unable to dance, but he came to cheer & support us! And, Katy was not able to attend the Rhythm section of her dance due to a terrible migraine. We missed them both but held the torch for our studio and our fellow dance friends! A very special thank you to all our friends and family that came to support or sent their well wishes as we danced. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!
