Where Ottawa’s Dancing WCS in December & January

By Maria: November 30th, 2011

Here’s your monthly roundup of where Ottawa Westies will be dancing – both in town and out – through the holidays.

But first, some exciting West Coast Swing dance news for Canadians:

The US Open Dance Championships (November 25/27) is THE major West Coast Swing event where even the Champions must audition to compete.

This year, Canada’s Myles Munroe & Tessa Cunningham placed 2nd in Showcase – their best showing ever at the Open AND the highest placement for an International couple at this prestigious event.
