Last weekend’s tweeting experiment from Manhattan Amateur Classic was great fun. A couple of friends agreed to report on the fly. Reading their tweets almost made me feel like I was there. And I’m not the only one who enjoyed it. I received a message from one of my followers saying how much he/she enjoyed the coverage.

Here are some of my favorite tweets from the competition:

Open dancers are amazing but I’m astounde at how only ONE of the kids smiled during youth pre-champ Latin. #MAC2011

12 year olds shouldn’t use that much tanning solution or wear lipstick that shade of white. This actually really bothers me. #MAC2011

In the ballroom warning up. I have having to practice smooth in my Latin shoes but there’s no other time to practice it. #MAC2011
