Unique Dance-o-Rama - July 2016

As of July 18, 2016, my second Unique Dance-O-Rama was in the books. It was a great event with lots of dancing and relationship building.
The most memorable moments of the weekend included:
With Peter - We placed 2nd in the Pro-Am International Latin Scholarship event! Considering this was our first Latin Scholarship and haven’t been focused on Latin that long, we were definitely proud of that outcome. As an added bonus, Donovan was able to be in the audience Friday night.
With AJ - We had multiple dances that were organically about the emotion, the connection, and the music instead of about the steps. We were immersed in the moment, and those dances even had moments of spontaneity. It was the most amazing feeling and one that I have never felt on the dance floor before.
