My Sister’s Ballroom Dancing Fall Showcase

Posted October 14, 2013, 1:06 a.m.

A few weeks ago, Melissa and I trekked down to Roanoke, Virginia, to watch my sister do some ballroom dancing at the fall Showcase Spectacular and Mini-Match, which was put on by the Arthur Murray Dance Center of Roanoke. I don’t pretend to know anything about ballroom dancing—I figure the rumba has something to do with an automated vacuum—but I am reasonably certain that Kristen is very good at it.

Anyway, the first video is of her two solo routines, while the second is of her six ‘mini-match’ routines. And one of these days, I’ll remember to bring my tripod. Enjoy!
