Ohio Star Ball Presents Fordney Foundation Team Matches 2018
If you are a fan of attending competitions and better yet, performing at them, then you know that the Ohio Star Ball is the competition to be at. It is the largest Pro/Am competition in the world today. This year, the excitement went up a notch as the always expanding Ohio Star Ball added another team category to the East and West Team Matches. Sam Sodano added the Central Team Match to rev up the competition and give many more dancers an opportunity to get in on the awesome “team spirit” of this event. This area represents not only the central part of North America in the United States but also parts of Canada.
As I said, the adrenaline was through the roof with the final winners being the East Coast Team. The mascots were there to cheer the teams on and it was a grand day, full of wonderful memories. All the teams were in peak form and danced magnificently. Congratulations to the East Coast dancers who won this year!
