Priscilla plays the Palace

Directly after Dancing A'La Carte, My partner and I drove to New York City to meet friends for a once in a lifetime opportunity, to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert play at the Palace Theater.

Had to go for so many reasons:

1. Visiting the Palace was on my bucket list!!!
2. Every respectable ballroom dancer loves Priscilla
3. Best soundtrack ever, odd dance fact, it's also the Personal favorite soundtrack enjoyed by  Marcy Garson.
4. Fabulous costumes and dancing
5. Most importantly, it was a chance to give Friends a day off, and I don't think they have had one In a While.



We left the palace a bit buzzed... drinking wine in custom Priscilla Sparkley sippy cups... Will be a treasured memory always, especially after the cast members dragged Mabel up on to the stage, to dance the polka to Cotten Eye Joe... Talk about amazing... To say that you've danced on the stage of the Palace. It was a night to remember always..

The Washington Open

This Spring Sophia and I attended the Washington Open, hosted by Dan Calloway and Robert Woods. Initially we had decided not to attended this event.


After some debate we entered as a last minute decision, and had a wonderful time.

Traditionally this event has been small over the last few years. This year the event offered a very high level of quality, customer service, and prize money, so it's easy to see that this event is about to grow in terms of size and popularity.

Anne-Marie Lund was on hand as the official event photographer and took several stunning photos, including my particular favorite of Sophia in a high open leg kick.
