Beyond the multitude of sequin-covered dancers sashaying to the floor, Allison Dennis stood apprehensively in her modest-by-comparison flouncy polka dot miniskirt, eager for her group to be called.
It was, after all, only her second dance rivalry. But like so many relative newcomers to ballroom dancing, what she lacked in knowledge she made up in attitude.
"It's exciting, it's exciting, it's exhausting," said Dennis, breathless, as she strutted off the dance floor with her partner, Robert Granville; equally are sophomores at the University of Maryland, College Park.
They were among the almost 1,000 competitors in this year's DC Dancesport Inferno ballroom dancing competition at the university. What started as a small collegiate tournament 14 years ago has grown into one of the biggest competitions in the mid-Atlantic, with college students and nonstudent amateur competitors alike taking part in a two-day competition.
Participation in the competition has soared in new years. With the popularity of such TV shows as "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing with the Stars," ballroom is very hot.
