It gives me great pleasure to personally invite you to participate in the 12th Annual Cincinnati Dancesport on August 13-15, 2009 at the Sheraton Hotel at the Greater Cincinnati Airport. Every year since its inception, it has been our intention to constantly improve this event and it has always been a priority to dispense a warm welcome and VIP treatment to all those in attendance. This year again promises to be an exciting event. As in the past, there will be $22,000 available in prize money; many scholarships are available for both pro/am and amateur couples, and participation in the DanceSport Series championship. In addition, a favorite event is our Rising Star Professional Competitions. The competitor packages have been updated and you will receive them in the mail. Information is also accessible through the Competitors section on our website. This year we are offering 3 free single dance entries to holders of Package A and 2 free single dance entries to holders of Package B. We are also pleased to announce that we will be hosting dance lectures and a dance workshop presented by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing. This is a unique opportunity for all students of the dance and we are honored to be able to present this to our Cincinnati Dancesport participants. Each year our Competition gets better than the last.
