USABDA NorCal’s 2000 Spring Fling!

Congratulations to all who participated in our 2000 Spring Fling on April 8! It was a very high- energy event. The day started with 2 wonderful workshops by Stephan and Denise Krauel (ChaCha) and Sherrie Paregian (Argentine Tango). These workshops feature first-rate teachers with much individual attention at a bargain price. Don’t miss them. A full schedule of competitive events followed on the great floor of the Palo Alto Elks Lodge. We had time for quite a lot of social dancing and three Jack & Jill events. Our lighting staff has really improved the atmosphere during the social dancing interludes. Our officials and the results of the competitions are listed below. Don’t miss our next two events: November 4, 2000 and January 27, 2001, both at the Palo Alto Elks Lodge.
