THE DESERT CLASSIC TIMES
Official Newsletter of the
Desert Classic DanceSport Championships
Greetings!
 
Dancers, it's time to rock the ballroom at the Desert Classic. Heat lists are now posted on our website.
 
We are headed to Palm Desert tomorrow to get everything ready for you! Thank you for your incredible support of our competition. We know you have many choices.
 
We are very sorry to announce that Luca & Lorraine Baricchi will be unable to perform for you on Saturday evening. Their beloved brother-in-law and business partner, Scott Montague, recently passed away at the young age of 33. The Barrichis are griefstriken and need to take some time off to recover from the loss. They know that many of you were very much looking forward to seeing them and they send you their deep regrets.
 
But, don't worry!  We were able to book an incredible replacement show with Max Kozhevnikov and Beata. They have graciously agreed to perform for you Saturday night. We are very thankful for their offer to help at the very last minute. You can read more details about this fabulous couple in this newsletter.
 
See you on deck!!!
 
Sincerely,
The Desert Classic DanceSport Championships

Paradigm DVD ... on the Cutting Edge of  Competitive Dance Videography
 
Paradigm DVDParadigm Digital (DVD) was created in 1992 by owner and former dance competitor Michael Carter. The business was born out of of his passion for dance, camera equipment, editing and videography.
 
"Being a dancer has really helped in knowing how to shoot the competitive dancer and anticipate movement" says owner Michael Carter.
Paradigm DVD strives to stay on the cutting edge of the latest digital equipment to bring dancers the highest quality video possible. "We know that competitors enjoy re-living their experiences so we do our very best to make sure everyone is 100% happy with their videos"  he added.  Read a glowing testimonial about Paradigm DVD from USA Dance,,,
