Local Dancers Compete

Did you know that there are a number of local dancers actively competing?

In late March, Lilian Paternostre and Clifford Arnold (USA Dance Charlottesville Treasurer) represented USA Dance Charlottesville (#6044) at USA Dance Nationals in Baltimore.  They danced Bronze (2-dance events) and Silver (3-dance events), Senior III (55 to 64) and Senior II (45 to 54) in American Smooth and International Standard.  Twelve events in all.  Lilian and Clifford medaled in 9 events (5 firsts, 2 seconds, 2 thirds).  Charlottesville’s chapter is on the map again in USA dance competitions.  Check out their video on Facebook.
