We kicked of National Ballroom Dance Week with a dance party at Boleros Grand Ballroom on Friday, September 17, 2010.  All of the members of the Jacksonville Dance Alliance came together for a night of fun and dancing.  The JDA is a cooperative effort of Jacksonville-area ballroom dance studios with the goal of promoting the art of ballroom dance.

After 4 months of intense preparation, May 1st was the big day of Jacksonville’s Dancing With The Stars.  Beautiful people from all over the city came out to Bolero’s Grand Ballroom to see our local celebrities dance their heart out for a good cause.  The ballroom was transformed into a beautiful glittered hall and the magnificent food was donated by many of Jacksonville’s top restaurants.  The main goal of the evening was to raise money for funding the after-school programs of The Boselli Foundation.  We had a special treat when some of the Boselli children performed some of the dancing they have been learning. 

Dance Elite made a strong representation with myself and Daniel Davis.  We danced four dances in competition style dancing.  Our solo was the Tango and it earned a perfect score of three 10’s…perfect 30 from the judges!  It doesn’t get any better than that!  Final scores for the evening were determined by 2 things.  50% of the final score was amount of money raised , and 50% was scores of the performance that evening.  I am happy to report that Daniel Davis won 1st place and the MirrorBall Trophy!  Thank you to everybody who voted and supported us during the entire process.  It was such a fun experience!  Wanna see more pics…go here.  Enjoy!
