Update

Hi Folks,

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been busy programming a new upgrade for the partner search. As a preview, all I can say is that it will be easier to use by integrating into existing networks, and it will be a different approach to partner search than traditional sites(eg. ballroomdancers.com). Depending on how long the project takes(I'm opting for an earlier release than a later release), it may include other features like costumes and classified ads, and competition results/registration. But if I can't these out in time, then they will be saved for future versions.

Can't say more right now nor when it will be available, but I'm working on it as fast as I can.

Update on LED Dress

Another update on the LED Dress. It's designed by Swarovski, and the outter white dress is filled with crystals.

There's a video here(Reuters).

More Glowing dresses

Sorry folks for the lack of update. We got back last friday, and I'm still catching up on work and stuff.

Anyhow, here's another article about glowing clothes. This time, it's an LED dress which you can wear under another shear fabric. I'm fascinated by the use of glowing clothes in competition wear because I think it's eventually going to happen. People in arts and in ballroom dancing are always looking to integrate technology, so the question is how will glowing clothing be done and not make it look tacky?

Anyways, here's the link.

Yankee Classic. Friday

Yankee classic is on the way. I didn’t notice any couples from outside of the US-Canada area on Friday evening. Here are the winners of pro standard and rising star latin.

Vacation

Sorry for the lack of updates, we've been on vacation for the past week. Should be back at the end of this week, and looking to update with some articles. Someone should also be going to Yankee Classic, and hopefully take some photos(videos?) too.
