LIVE from USDC 2011 - DanceBeat Magazine
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
September 6 was the first day of competition at the USDC and the results were like a box of chocolates you never knew what you were going to get, starting with the Pro/Am Rhythm events. Oh Man! The surprise in the “A2” and “B” categories of the same division were both won by men! Giovanni Fortezza won the “A2” and Philip Widlanski took the “B” with only one woman, the same teacher Jolanta Mosteika.
The“B” was extremely contested. Philip won w/ these marks (1,2,1,2,1), and in looking at the placements, no one had a really clear majority of first. Joan Goddard w/Chris Johnston followed Philip in second position (2,1,2,1,2), and third was Gracelyn Tuoti with Andrei Abrashin (4,3,4,3,3).
Giovanni Fortezza won the “A2” with an easier battle, he placed first in all dance but mambo where he placed third. Julie Korsog with Misha Vlasov were awarded second (2,2,2,2,1) and Katia Malone placed third with Eddie Rivera (3,4,5,5,2).
