Our Floor Show Performers
Roger Thaxton and Carie Garrity are 2007 and 2008 USA Dance National Amateur Senior Championship Finalists. Roger and Carie will be doing International Standard style dances for the exhibition and will talk to the audience about the dances so that they understand why it looks different from American Smooth style.
