Dance Driven at Bremerton Dance Extravaganza

The boys' ballroom team, Dance Driven, performed at the Bremerton Elks Club as part of a fund raiser to replace their dance floor.  Afterward, Christine Luders, their coach, was going to take some group shots, and I asked if she'd like me to shoot them for her.  So, I did.  Here are some of the shots I got on Sunday.

Unfortunately, Ethan did not perform that night, so he wasn't there for the photo shoot.  We'll do another in the future.

Combined Federal Campaign - Ian's Swing Number

Ian and Alexis have been working on a swing number and last night they presented it for the first time in public at the Mountain View Middle School in Bremerton. Their teacher is Christine Luders and they both dance with her Dance Driven teen ballroom team.

They were at a Combined Federal Campaign fund raiser and they were one of the demo teams. There was also a country two-step competition.

I can't seem to put the video on the page here. You will have to copy this link and put it into your browser to watch it.

Enjoy!

This was a fund raising event for the Tacoma Musical Theatre. The kids were there as part of the evening's entertainment. They did extremely well and we do have a YouTube video up.

Xavier and Brittany also performed in the amateur competition and came in first place. They were only three points away from winning the People's Choice Award. We have not hear how Christine (their instructor) did with her partner. This was very similar to the Dancing With the Stars we see on TV. Christine would be the instructor and the "star" was the gentleman who was dancing with her.
