THE YANKEE CLASSIC Dancesport Championships -- 2004
Boston-Marriott Cambridge
Thursday, June 17, 9am Pro/Am Rhythm
Friday, June 18, 8am Pro/Am Smooth

We are very proud of Patricia Ballard, Mike Bonacorsi, Emily Canavan, Andrew George, Flavia Grey, Holly Johnson, Karen Keating, Ben Paquin, Nancy Paquin, Leticia Quiles, Mark Tuson, and Michael von Dadelszen; all of whom competed at the Yankee Classic in Cambridge on Thursday and Friday. All danced well and, most importantly, all benefited from the preparation, the cameraderie, and the experience of participating in this enjoyable event.

We're especially proud of our own Maria and Brian, finalists in the Rising Star Rhythm event and semi-finalists in the Open Division!

Thanks to Ben & Nancy for a great dinner at Legal Seafood and several of the pictures below. Also to Patricia's friend, Greg, who provided many of the pictures below. And a very special thanks to Chris & Karen Chaleki who contributed a great deal of time, expertise, and encouragement before, during, and after the comp. You guys are the best!
