What people say.......
"The Emerald Ball is a MUST for the competitive pro-am student. Entry numbers and the level of competition is very high in all categories. The ballroom is great and the comp runs like a finely tuned instrument thanks to the organizational skills of Wayne and Donna Eng. Especially exciting this year was the Pro Rising Star Title events, as well as the fabulous dancing presented in all the professional and amateur events. Emerald definitely 'shines'."

Just a very brief note to let you know how impressed I am with your organization of the Emerald Ball. Every year I compete in five or six competitions, both pro/am and student/student. Without question, your event is best run of any of them. I sincerely appreciate that you posted the heat times on your website well ahead of the date of the comp -this way I could let my friends who wanted to watch know well in advance when to come down. Secondly, I have just reviewed all the judges' score sheets using the link you emailed me. This was wonderful, and a real first! Thank you again, I already look forward to next year's Emerald...
