Desert Classic Dancesport Championship was the first BIG out of state competition for my daughter. It usually takes place in the beginning of July in Desert Springs and is a very well attended event.
Before the competition, I was told it was big, but what is big? Well, let me tell you it is BIG! I have never seen an army of dancing kids before. Multi colored competition dresses of Teddy Bears and pre-teen, fancier dresses of older kids EVERYWHERE! The floor in the bathroom looked like Swarowsky commercial shot - covered in rhinestones, the smell of self tanners and a hair spray, shouting parents, running kids. I started to feel a little anxiety, but the calm and quiet voice of daughter shooked me right back in: So, where are we going to dance, mom? She was standing next to me, happily looking around, ready to go, and this entire scene took me to the very beginning of my daughter's ballroom experience - she started dancing, because she loved it, and that's why she enjoying it so much, and the competition is just another way of doing what she loves - nothing else (right?!) Why am I telling this story? Our dance studio is having Igor Suvorov for coaching sessions. Him and his wife are the owners of Desert Classic Dancesport Championship and being an avid Googler, I have decide to type in his name and see what happens. Well, first of all, I found this interview dated 2010.
The funniest thing is at the very end, when they talk about 5 or 6 kids attending the competition, and how cute they are. Well the beginning of this post I talk about 2015 and hundreds of kids were attending, and then I found this video
and it explains the attention that these two are getting up to this day and why they are living legends, and why Igor Suvorov is so desirable as a coach and so respected among professionals. I can watch this video non - stop - two people, who love to dance and enjoying it! After all that what it's all about!
Happy Thursday!
