Hi Everyone -- I'm back again reporting from the events I'm at. Following are my notes & some impressions along with the placements. There isn't much for the comp dances, but the results are here.
I wasn't too successful with getting the marks down but the totals for Tech, Comp & Grand Totals are correct.
Hopefully the org committee will have the results up on their web-site soon but they're not up yet.
Thanks,
Rosaleen
CAN Karam / McGrath Start 1 Place 3
Notes her in black & red him in white shirt & black vest & pants / first dance I've seen this year - edges seemed pretty good a bit slow maybe at times and I think their pattern shifted -- I'll have a better impression after I've seen a few others probably needs more power & speed

CAN Lamoureux / Mee Start 7 Place 2
