The Eleventh Annual Grand Ball

Even though I was feeling really tired, I went anyways. Sunday evening I was at Grand Ball Room in Richmond to watch their annual dance competition. Many of the club members competed in the gold level including the current senior canadian champion. For approximately five hours or so, I watched heat after heat of fox trot, waltz and slow quick step. The whole event kind of reminded me of the japanese movie Shall We Dance except with out all the antics. Although there was the occasional collision between pairs as room on the floor was sometimes limited.

For the most part, the ballroom dancing was fairly ho hum but not the amateur open latin dancing category. From sexy skimpy outfits to bodies twirling all over the place, it certainly was an interesting display. Below are some of the pics of various dancing couples. Here we have a shot of the winning pair from San Francisco.

See the passion. Feel the intensity. He calls for her. They are together.

This event is one of the largest in western Canada so couples came from all over. Nova Scotia, San Francisco, Seattle, Quebec, etc.

Below is a local couple from our own Richmond, B.C.

Strike a pose! Where's John Travolta?
