My wife and I are amateur dancesport competitors and we want to share our passion for this incredible sport, hobby and community with everyone. We dance in and around the San Francisco area and are actively involved in the ballroom dance community there.
We started the blog to give beginners unfiltered and unbiased information so they can make informed decisions about teachers, schools, lessons, equipment, competitions, etc. We made just about every mistake you could make so we want to help you avoid the same hazards. Moreover, this blog is a great resource of dance technique, culture and community so we hope you enjoy it.

You scored as ChaCha, You are Cha Cha! Flirtatious and fun, you are the life of the party. People tend to add syllables to your name and count you incorrectly. You are versatile, approachable, and best when syncopated. For someone so sexy, you are a lot less of a tramp than most.
All of you! We're grateful for all the people that support the Ballroomblog and all people who love dancing in all its various forms.
We get a lot of comments and emails and its very time consuming preparing the blog, practicing for dance and holding down a steady job so please be patient if we don't get back to you right away. We try our best to get reply to everyone who makes the effort to contact us and we'll address any questions you have to the best of our ability.

I love the production value in this video from a few years back. The commentary is so-so but I hope CN8 is watching this as a template for their competition productions.
