Blackpool Festival 2009 - Team USA!

We are proud to report that the USA team won the Team Match at this year's prestigious Blackpool Dance Festival held in England. The Blackpool Dance Festival is the world's first and most famous annual ballroom dance competition, going strong since 1920. It is also the largest ballroom competition, with 1808 couples representing 60 countries in 2009.

This year, the Team Match was between Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and the USA. This is the second year in a row that the USA has won.

There was more good news for the US during Blackpool's Open Cabaret Division. Runners-up in this highly contested spot were Jesse Benedetti and Kimalee Piedad and third place went to Eric Luna & Georgia Ambarian. Both couples are Fred Astaire Dance Studios instructors.
