Also deserving mention are the other Allegro dancers who participated in this event and did a fine job of representing Allegro Ballroom.

Our teachers - David Arnold, Tytus Bergstrom, Jennifer Davis, Scott Patterson and Heintje Soriano - were impressive as they showed off their students and represented Allegro Ballroom in the Pro-Am events. David Arnold competed with his many partners in an amazing 68 consecutive dances! Our own Stephen Cullip and LaNay Eastman were there to officiate, and also dancing in the event was Allegro pro Tadas Jonyla.
