The Medal Ball took place at the Arthur Murray Studio in Santa Rosa on February 7, 2014. It's intended to be a low-key event at the studio to allow students to participate in heats and receive critiques from visiting pros without being a full-blown competition. It's less about the complexity of the patterns and more about getting comfortable with heats and spectators. Think of it like a warm-up before the upcoming regional showcase. :) (These photos and vidoes were taken with an iPhone, so some are a bit pixelated or blurry due to the lighting and motion.)
