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.
