I’d like to thank TL & Chris Rader (@DanceWithTLC) for taking the time to provide Twitter coverage from La Classique du Quebec. It looks like it was a phenomenal event. I loved watching the updates as they came in. It’s too bad the mobile coverage was so spotty in the ballroom, otherwise we might have gotten even more!

I particularly love the commentary about men’s and women’s grooming trends. I’m so relieved to hear about the “short loose hair” trend for women. When I competed, I disliked pasting back my hair. I’ve always though that hair with movement was sexier and complimented the dancing better.
