I am really interested in knowing what songs were danced to! I hope USPDF will post a highlight video on their website soon :o)
It WAS absolutely amazing! Natasha really earned 1st place, her performance was breathtaking and received a standing ovation from many people. Such strength, grace, and creativity. Karol and Mina were also among my favorite sets! There were a lot of great performances in the pro division and some I wasn't all that amazed with. Seeing Alethea and Jenyne perform was also completely awesome! I never saw either of them dance in person and am always in awe watching their videos. I hadn't even known about Jenyne being there until surfing FB waiting for the pro division to start and seeing Alethea's status update about Jenyne getting ready, then looking at the program again to believe it :) Even the amateurs were incredible to watch. Nadia was my favorite, she had some awesome moves and her music was perfect for the routine. Loved the chair incorporation, and I'm not usually a fan of chair/floor. I thought most of the amateur performances were pretty awesome. If they were "amateur", I feel like a day 1 beginner for sure. After party was a giant flop with it being moved from place to place to place. Paid for it , but didn't go to it - I had a better "after party" elsewhere so it worked out in the end, but heard a lot of people were disappointed in that part of the weekend. I think its safe to say I will probably attend again next year. (I also say I'm going to try and enter it for amateur as a goal of mine for the '12 comp, except after seeing the show, I dont have a chance in the world!)
Found this channel on youtube - has a few vids from the pro show!!! I have only watched Karol & Estee, but loved what I saw! http://www.youtube.com/user/LaFemmeDance

check out fox news online today; even they have a clip from it. :)
These are awesome so far!! Sooooo cool!!! Thanks for posting the links and feedback......... I so wish I was there!!!
I competed in the Amateur competition, and let me tell you it is very intimidating! The word amateur doesn't seem to really fit lol but it was amazing and the girls are so sweet and supportive and so incredibly talented! :). Unfortunately I didn't watch most of the performance because I was in the back being a nervous wreck ;), I did want to comment that Nadia was great and her song is a new favorite of mine it's called "Rev 22:20"- by Puscifer it is awesome, definitely check it out!!!
My sister was at the After Party when it was busted...apparently it had nothing to do with USPDF...but the owners had served an underaged kid the day before and got their license yanked. Igot separated form the main bunch of people and a few of the NYPD staff got a pole set-up across the street, but a lot of people ahd left by then. I felt sorry for the ladies who worked so hard...they were literally carrying boxes of pizza and deli-trays up and downthe street looking for a place to put them. THe party the year before had gone really well--it was just a bum break for them. Lian Tal's reception at B and P the next day was awesome...I got to take part in judging the pole cleaner contest....fun times, lol! ...AND...challenged Karol to a hip roll-off. Ha Ha, big mistake on my part...but lots of fun! Joel Lessing--Poledancefan
