Sentimental / 2011 UCWDC Worlds Advanced Crystal Line Dance "Smooth"

The Dance is "Sentimental" choreographed by Rachael McEnaney. The music is 'Sentimental' by Gareth Gates. The dance was the Advanced level "Smooth" dance, a west coast swing, at the 2011 UCWDC World Championships of Country Western Dance in Nashville, TN. The toughest part about doing this dance was the number of syncopations and not making the styling too "cuban" because there are a number of steps in the choreography which could easily be done with latin styling instead of west coast. I competed in two age divisions: Crystal and Diamond. This is the Crystal heat; In Crystal, I placed 2nd in every dance and I placed 2nd Overall. In Diamond, I placed 2nd overall but with a mix of placements in individual dances: 1st in Anita's Waltz and Sentimental; 2nd in El Samba de M, and 3rd in Fantasy and Americano. This was my first year in Advanced so I was very pleased with the results.
