Dancing in Milwaukee and Reston

Goodness, it's been so long since I wrote to update our adventures. Last fall we saw and fell in love with a smaller house, which we purchased and moved into in the beginning of February. Now we can live on one level and look out at wildlife on our pond and in our woods every day. Love it!

Still haven't sold our former home. Anyone want to buy a big, beautiful 3000 square foot house in Okemos, MI? It's a steal! Here's the link to see the house and take a visual tour: http://www.visualtour.com/applets/flashviewer2/viewer.asp?t=2035639&sk=60&dm=mlsfinder.com

In March we went to Egypt and Jordan for almost the whole month. Great trip! Then when we came back, we went to Milwaukee to dance in Dan and Rebecca Messenger's Wisconsin Dancesport Championship. We were thrilled to have been asked to dance our comedy cross dress number on Saturday night. Dan was a hoot in his brilliant idea for how to introduce it. Here is a link to the video on utube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhaQjEEFhPg
We heard there was a write up in Dance Beat with a picture of Art in his ballgown, but we missed it. If anyone has a copy, please send it to us! Our new postal address is: 1236 Jolly Road, Okemos, MI 48864.

What a great comp. We always have so much fun in Milwaukee--Dan and Rebecca are such warm hosts and the Pfister is such a beautiful hotel.

And now we just finished dancing at Virginia State Dancesport in Reston. Another great comp, hosted by Rosendo and Ahmed. We liked the schedule change a lot. The open pro Latin and American Smooth styles used to be danced on Sunday afternoon, with hardly any audience in the ballroom to watch. This year they were moved to Saturday night. Much better.

Time for us to go now. We'll try to post some pictures later.

Happy dancing!
Betty and Art
