A Note to Competitors:
THANK YOU ALL for competing – you did a wonderful job. While not everybody can make it to finals, several competitors were noticed by the judges. We have posted the scores from the Preliminaries by bib number below to show those who received votes.
Regardless of the scores, the judges spent a great deal of time watching all of you and have good things and constructive criticism to give. We hope that everyone who competed – including our winners – will seek feedback from the judges to improve their dance. Judges for follows were: Jae, Jen, Magen and Zia. Judges for leads were: Brenda, Drew, Justin, and Kayce. For more information on how to seek feedback, please email pdxblues@gmail.com.
Thank you again and see you out next time!
