Who Will Be North America's
"Best of the Best" Top Pro-Am Couples?

The 2011 "Best of the Best" Challenge

The Best of the Best Dancesport Challenge is a yearly competition between some of the top Pro/Am couples in the country and winners at the Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels of dance will be decided. The growing participation and interest in the Best of The Best Challenge was quite apparent at this year's Grand Finale held in Ohio. Originally launched as a challenge for the Top Competitor between the Atlanta Open, The Holiday Classic and the Ohio Star Ball, the challenge has now expanded to 8 events throughout the calendar year. Each event hosting a Best of the Best Challenge offers a different category, so interested competitors have their pick of several divisions in which to shine. Here is the line up for the 2011 season.

• Holiday Classic - 9 & 10 Dance Bronze & Silver Division
• California Open- Rising Star Division: Bronze, Silver & Open Gold
• Atlanta Open- Bronze, Silver & Open Gold Scholarships
• Millenium - Bronze, Silver & Gold Theatre Arts Division
• Capital Dancesport -Six Dance American & International Style Divisions
• Embassy Ball - Open To The World Scholarships
• First Coast Classic- World Masters Bronze, Silver & Gold Showdance
• Ohio Star Ball - Open 9 & 10 Dance Championships

Entering in your selected division at a participating event is the first step to qualifying. Make sure to check the details as outlined in the organizers literature. The concept of Best of the Best is to take the winners in each age division of the qualifying event and have a run off to determine an overall winner for the competition. The Overall winner from each participating competition is asked to prepare a one minute and 30 second solo presentation in the dance of their choice for the Grand Finale Challenge in Ohio. At the Grand Finale, the Overall Winners from each competition will present their solo and compete for the Best of the Best Title.

The Best of the Best Challenge gives each participant the opportunity to focus on improving their dancing in a specific division and the winners the chance to represent one of seven competitions at the Grand Finale in Ohio. It's a focused format of fun, excitement and recognition. Congratulations to all 2010 Winners and good luck to all the challengers for The 2011 Best of the Best Challenge!. Remember, you've got to be in it to win it!
