Thoughts and news about swing dancing in Ottawa

CSC 2010 Results

Posted by on 06.10.10 12:37PM under Competitions, Ottawa, Swing Dancing

Swing Dynamite – and therefore Ottawa – had another great year at the Canadian Swing Championships in 2010.

This year everyone from Ottawa who placed was connected with Swing Dynamite in some way–as a teacher, coach, team member (current or past) or student, which makes us especially proud both for representing Ottawa so well once again, and for the success we’ve had in training dancers. Many of the dancers below were competing for their very first time, and ended up making finals or even placing at Canada’s biggest swing competition!

Just some of the awards Swing Dynamite won at CSC 2010

Here’s a comprehensive list of our accomplishments this year. Competitors are listed even if they are no longer team members, and even if they’ve since moved out of Ottawa – we’re still proud of you! I’ve listed placements below 3rd place as “finalist” unless the placement was particularly noteworthy for the number of competitors or level of competition:
