USA Dance held its flagship Dancesport championship this weekend, April 8, 9, 10, 2011 at Baltimore and our local dancers from the Honolulu Chapter 4007 not only did our Chapter proud, but did a great job representing the state of Hawaii at the National champioships. Four couples from Hawaii participated in the event with three couples competing in both the Standard and Latin events. The results show the increasing interest and quality of competitive Dancesport in Hawaii.
