As many of you know christine began to take dancing seriously app. one year ago. With a lot of encouragement from her friends in the dance community she was nudged into a formal competition. This past weekend she competed for the first time ever at the annual Ft. Worth "Texas Hoe-Down." She danced Saturday and today she learned that her performances in four dances earned her four GOLD FINISHES, one came “with honors.” I found the results online. I’d expect her to be home tonight or tomorrow, but all in all she made quite a statement to the dance community of Texas. Well done christine, and may this be the start of a new chapter in your life!

Whoa! and very well done!

I suppose dancing's OK, but I'm still hoping for the Playboy centerfold. That Heffner dude must be getting senile.
Wha, what? JT, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Christine, congratulations on your multiple successes!! Some day I'll have to learn how to dance.
I have my wife to thank for that - Dancing with the Stars :) (Not that I watch it, I'd rather watch James Bond re-runs)
I'm actually taking wifey this Friday for our first lesson. Our youngest daughter is about to get engaged and since this is the last wedding I'll have to pay for, I'm going to learn to dance! (somewhat) :)
haha! have fun. I was dragged to dance lessons several yrs ago, "salsa". It was funny, and sort of goofy. it went on every week for months, and somehow i slipped out of it unscathed. :-)

Thanks for posting this JT. And congratulations Christine.

Christine looks like a very attractive young Lady. Do ya think she got extra points for that????
Way to go, christine. May you have many more "GOLD FINISHES" in your future.
That bad, eh. I need three basic dances so I don't look like a circling clod, which won't be easy, but I'm willing to try :) Did I tell you I played HS football pre helmet daze?
Do ya
think she got extra points for that???? Let's put it
this way, if the Hunchback of Notre Dame could dance like Gene Kelly, he'd still
walk away holding his putz rather than the gold :)
Way to stomp those peanut-shells, Christine!!

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll

If things don't go all that well, just wait for the slow dances and grind around. You'll do fine.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

Way to Go, Christine !

Thanks, all. ;) I won first place in both of my dances, each of which I did in 2 different age brackets in the Newcomers Division. Within my age-bracket, there were only 5 competitors; but in the younger age-bracket, there were 15 competitors. So, in all, I competed against 20 other dancers. I won 1st place and was awarded Gold with Honors in my Nightclub routine; and Gold Graduate in my 2step routine. The Gold Graduate designation in the event is a very rare occurrence I was told by my pro. It means that all 5 judges scored me #1 against all 20 of my competitors. It also means that, with only one competition on my resume, I will be allowed to advance to the Novice Division in the 2step in future competitions if I want to. Spectators are not allowed to video any of the event, as there is a professional videographer who videos the entire event and sells the DVD. All together, for my 2 dances, there were about 6 different heats. My husband covertly took the video of my very first dance, in the very first heat, in the older (yes, I'm old) age bracket. Bill wanted to get the video of me competing against the younger age-bracket contestants, later, as there were some pretty good dancers there, a higher energy level, and I was less nervous, but he was unable to.

It's easy to see how you won. You look like you've been doing it for much longer than a year. You're very likable and you look like a young athlete spinning around out there :D Amazing. Congratulations and looking forward to seeing more videos of the competition if/when you get any.
