Again - too much to do and not enough time, so I had to miss the 1st 2 groups of the dance. And the wireless in the arena still isn't working so the report will go up when the event is over.

Her in red him in black
Nice opening where he moves to her - very romatic & soft right now - but tango / music builds midline - starts with twizzles / twizzles with hands behind back then one arm overhead - exceelent / lift with her standing on his leg him in low pow / move that I can't desribe where he slives on the ice / diag steps as music picks up right with music and moves highlight as it builds to a climax / rot lift with her around his waist then vertical away from / and I saw the spin but it was so much in dance character (and not a pair spin) that I didn't really realize it was the spin. / T 29.35 C 32.45 tot 61.80 / gr tot 102.96 currently 1st /
