The World Choreography Awards (WCA) is a global annual award show celebrating and honoring the best in media choreography. They are like the Oscars of dance. I bring this to your attention because we all know how important choreography is to our ballroom dances and it is about time choreography gets noted for its own merit!
The World Choreography Awards is set to be live streamed from The Avalon Hollywood on
May 16. Produced/directed by Allen Walls, George Paige and Cheryl Baxter-Ratliff.

***We have received contributions from individuals who would like to have a dear relative or friend who passed on remembered that loved to dance or was a dance aficionado. We call these memorial contributions. Perhaps you would like to have someone memorialized in this manner. Make a donation and give us their name. We have on our website a yellow brick road to engrave their name to a brick as a memorial to that person. This contribution will assist future generations of dancers and help keep young people more positive and healthy.
