VIVA LAS VEGAS COMPETITION 2019 - LAS VEGASE, NEVADA

We had a fantastic time at the Viva Las Vegas Competition, held at the beautiful Caesar's Palace Hotel. The event took place from Friday, July 12th, until Monday, July 15th. This competition is organized every year by the talented and professional team of World Promotions, Inc, led by Anna and Andrew Smart.

We had the opportunity to share this experience with our students: Heidi Braniff, Regina Davis, Lee Roberson, and Bill Bennett, as well as our dance instructors: Mario Recoba and Maximiliano Panesi.

Without a doubt, this event will forever have a special place in our memories, not only because the actual competition results, but also because the friendships that were created, and the ones that got even more solid. Once again Daza Dance left a great impression on the rest of the dance community, and I am so proud to be part of a team that is constantly looking for ways to impact other people's lives in a positive, fun, welcoming, and supportive manner.

There are so many wonderful people I’ve been able to get to know throughout the years and continue to cultivate our friendship. At the same time it’s always awesome to meet new ones and welcome them into our family! We had the great privilege to spend the weekend cheering, supporting, and enjoying this experience with these amazing ladies: Chelsea and Jazmin.... you guys were fabulous!!!! I’m looking forward to see you again very soon!
