Workshops with American Smooth Champions

I got to do 3 workshops w/ JT Thomas & Tomas Mielnicki on Saturday - waltz, fox trot and tango. They are National American Smooth Champions. All 3 classes were great. Saturday night, they performed 4 showdances - including "Me & My Shadow" which they did on last year's America's Ballroom Challenge on PBS - and just blew everyone away!

Sunday morning I had a private lesson w/ Tomas...WOW! It was amazing and now I have things to practice on my own for smooth to strengthen my feet/ankles/core, and help my balance, timing and posture. It's a lot easier to practice latin on my own so to have specific things I can do at home for smooth is awesome. And to dance briefly w/ a Champion Smooth dancer - WOW!!!

And I have to say...Tomas has beautiful eyes! That does not come across on TV or in pictures. He is much more handsome in person...but I digress...and no - I didn't drool or embarrass myself during my lesson w/ him...

And JT is cute as a button too...I met her briefly before my lesson w/ Tomas...

ok...so I'm bragging a little...no apologies though!
