What Did People Say About the 2004

Southwestern Invitational?

Hi David: First and foremost, we want to thank you for all your hard work and intense planning that went into this year’s competition. We won’t list all the great details because there are too many. We know that often you only hear complaints/suggestions, so we want to let you know in this small way that we noticed the great floor, great judging panel, excellent Professional Show, great efficiency & time management with the heats, and total overall attention to detail. The participation awards are outstanding/best ever and Ralph & I thank you ever so much.

David, thanks so much for a great competition. The floor was a total delight, and the music was perfect. Everything was on time, just beautifully managed. The pro show was a knock-out: Toni and Michael couldn't have been
better. Can't wait until next year,

Liz Conklyn

David -- I loved the understated elegance of the Hilton and the attention to detail with the menus and food, including the breakfast buffet. A great new venue. Congratulations.

Hi David!

Just a note to thank you for the wonderful time we had at this year's Southwestern Invitational! I want to let everyone know that this is the up and coming comp to attend! Everything was wonderful from the fantastic floor to the great hotel, ballroom decorations, music, atmosphere, show, and of course the delightful organizer and host! For anyone wanting a friendly, downhome competition to attend with an amazing standard of dance, Southwestern Invitational is the one for you!

Thanks!

Dear David,

The competition this year was a wonderful experience. The event was filled and overflowed with an abundance of external comforts like hotel, flooring, and food service. In addition to the pleasantries it was an arena filled with energetic competitors and gobs of helpful assitants. Thanks for providing the "dance world" with avenues where passsions can be free to dance.

Respectfully,
Joan C. Ray

 

"What an absolutely delightful weekend Richard and I had in Dallas, Texas at David Kloss' Southwestern Invitational. Although we no longer compete, we went as spectators, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves-beautiful hotel, lots of general dancing to wonderful music-much of it new to our ears (David Innis-great musicman). The dance floor was gorgeous and huge-40 x 80-wood, but not little squares with metal strips. Anyway, next year we hope to see you there. It is definitely a wonderful weekend away, whether you compete or not." Elizabeth Douglass
