Why Should I Compete?
Anyone who has ever walked into a dance studio and peeked into the ballroom can immediately tell you the dual feeling of excitement and intimidation upon seeing a pro/am or professional couple practicing in the ballroom.

What factors does a judge weigh in assessing a couple's performance?
The criteria that a judge might choose to consider are actually too numerous to examine individually in the brief time allotted, since at least six couples are being judged simultaneously. Therefore, the judge must rely on the impression each couple makes relative to the others . The experienced judge, having seen and studied dancing at all levels, can quickly assess these factors collectively.

Art and Betty Seagull... How To Sustain A Dance Partnership
Relationships can be difficult to sustain, and dance partnerships?even teacher/student partnerships?are no exception. The individual personalities and idiosyncrasies can sometimes mean conflict and stress, which most of us reading this can relate to. Art and Betty Seagull, who are both psychologists, decided to take on this subject and write a book about the struggles they have had and conflicts they have seen in the couples they know. The result is not only insightful but entertaining.
