Dear Dance Enthusiast,  

 

Thank you one and all for sharing an amazing weekend with us in Palm Desert. It was full of beautiful dancing, great energy and happy smiles! Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to each person who helped make the 12th Anniversary of the Desert Classic DanceSport Championships a record breaking year!

 

There were many amazing moments when we were deeply moved by the wonderful enthusiasm at our event. We will have a lifetime of beautiful memories of the fantastic competitions, the huge turnout of youth competitors, the packed ballroom and the incredibly exciting pro competitions...we could go on and on about it.

 

Each year we seek feedback so that we can improve future events. Your opinions are important to us and we are always striving to do better every year. We would be most appreciative if you would take a moment to fill out a short survey  about your experience with the Desert Classic.

 

We were deeply honored to be a part of your 2011 competition schedule. If you weren't able to come this year, please consider us for 2012. We know you have many choices and sincerely appreciate your attendance, your support, and your DANCING. It was just phenomenal.

 

We are looking forward to seeing you on deck next July!

Livestream!

Several fans have asked if we would do another broadcast.  

 

Instead, we have made all recorded events available to you with "video on demand!" Just go to our Livestream Channel, scroll through the video library, choose what you like and click the play button.

 

Please note: The recordings are from live, unedited.broadcasts. (1) We started off Saturday night with some sound problems. They were resolved fairly quickly so have a little patience until the problem goes away. (2) The Friday recordings were tests and are very short (3) You will see social dancing during breaks between heats. Just go get some popcorn and come back when the dancin' resumes.

 

If you have questions, let us know.

 

For outstanding video quality without commercial interruption or dead time between heats, view videos on our You Tube Channel. (See details in the right column.)
