PRESS RELEASE I Who we are II Terminology III Demographics IV Sessions and Ticket Pricing V How to Contact Us I Who we are... The Triple Crown DanceSport Championships is a trio of week long competitive ballroom dancing conventions produced by Dance Consultants Unlimited, Inc. (DCU, Inc.) of which Larry and Dianne Dean are the Owners. DCU, Inc. will be celebrating its 34th year beginning December 2006. The Triple Crown DanceSport Championships’ year begins with the Southeastern States, goes through the Southern States and culminates with the Florida State. The 2005 Southeastern States DanceSport Championships (SE States) (a.k.a The First Jewel of the Triple Crown - 33rd Annual) Held November 28-30, 2005 at The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota due to hurricane Katrina. This convention varies locations within the Southeast. Prior hosting cities/facilities include The Beau Rivage Casino, Biloxi, Ms., The Westin Resort in Hilton Head Island, SC, The Peabody Hotel in Orlando, FL and The Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The 2006 Southern States DanceSport Championships (SO States) (a.k.a The Second Jewel of the Triple Crown - 33th Annual) Held at The 4-Star J. W. Marriott Hotel in New Orleans, LA, April 12-16, 2006. One of the prior locations of this event was held at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN . The 2006 Florida State DanceSport Championships (FL State) (a.k.a. The Third Jewel of the Triple Crown - 34th Annual) Held for 19 years at The 5-Star, 5-Diamond, Breakers Hotel & Resort in Palm Beach, Florida, also for 7 years at The 5-Star, 5-Diamond Boca Resort & Club in Boca Raton, Florida. This event is the largest of the three conventions produced by DCU, Inc. and is now held at another, 5-Star caliber venue, The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota. DCU, Inc. offers the world’s largest purses—HALF A MILLION DOLLARS in scholarships, prize money, merchandise and awards. Larry Dean increased The Florida State Top Teacher Purse by $10,000, making it $30,000 and the largest Top Teacher Purse ever offered! He states he wishes to practice what he preaches—to give as much back as possible, to thank everyone for their increased support, and to preserve the art and sport of ballroom dancing for future generations. In 2002, The Florida State DanceSport Championships was the offical International Dance Organization (IDO) World Disco Hustle and Swing Championship Finals. Furthermore, it was the United States qualifying event for the year 2002. Quotes by Keith Todd, Editor of Dance Beat: “Larry and Dianne have brought the Triple Crown events to what is probably the most prestigious, and certainly the richest in terms of prize money, trio of events in the USA.” “Larry expressed that his one ongoing desire has been to see professional dancers adequately rewarded financially. In that, he and Dianne have made more progress than anyone else in the promotional field to date.” The Triple Crown DanceSport Championships are known as the “classiest dancesport championships”. The Triple Crown DanceSport Championships are the only events to be exclusively held at 4-&5-Star venues. Exit surveys show that attendees consistently give the Triple Crown DanceSport Championships an overall rating of EXCELLENT! II Terminology DanceSport (also, dancesport) is the competitive form of ballroom dancing. There are amateur competitors and professional competitors. - Two Amateurs dancing together are an Amateur Couple. - An Amateur partnering with a Professional is a Pro/Am Couple. - Two Professionals dancing together are a Professional Couple. There are five main categories of dancesport: International Standard and American Smooth are the two ballroom categories where the men’s attire is white tie and tails and the ladies’ flowing gowns. These categories include dances such as the waltz, tango, foxtrot, viennese waltz, peabody and quickstep. (melodic music) International Latin and American Rhythm are the two latin categories with body-revealing attire and dances such as the rumba, cha-cha, swing, samba, mambo, merengue, bolero, jive, and paso doble. (up beat music) Theatre Arts is an interpretive performance which combines dramatic lifts and aestheticism with the grace and elegance of ballet. III Demographics as cited by The National Dance Council of America The governing bodies of the dancesport industry are: - The National Dance Council of America (NDCA) - The World Dance and Dance Sport Council (WD&DSC) The two major dancesport periodicals are Dance Beat and Dance Week. In 1995, the Int’l. Olympic Committee granted dancesport provisional recognition and in September 1997, full recognition. There are 100+ major dancesport championships a year in the United States. 30 million Americans go ballroom dancing several times a year at public functions and clubs. Of those, 1,000,000 are serious dancers who take lessons two or more times a week and 50,000 are avid competitors. Competitors range in age from 5 to 90+. 70% of those participating in ballroom dance across the country are couples in their 30’s. There are 5,000 registered dancesport professionals in the United States. Up from 200, fifteen years ago. 300 colleges and universities participate in dancesport. This number is steadily increasing. Currently, Brigham Young University offers a major in ballroom dance and is home of the world champion BYU Formation Team. Ballroom dancing is an effective aerobic exercise. Sports Illustrated cites that German doctors tested the country’s 800-meter running champion and its amateur dance champions and found no significant athletic difference between running 800 meters and performing the quickstep for 1-1/2 minutes.

This fictional piece is about what happens when a freethinker bumps up against fundamentalist religious thinking in a court of law. It is set in the state of Tennessee. The case presented here in a satirical manner, may remind you of another legal battle played out recently in the news.
