NOTE FROM ME: Short newsletter today. I will write about the weekend later today and post it tomorrow or Wednesday. We had a great time and there were some awesome dances taught. I wish some of you would write little reports for me to share in the newsletter and include the dances you liked and the highlights of the weekend so people will know what your last event was like! There are a lot of choose from and it's a good way to give people who have never been to an event an overview of what one is like. It's also nice to let people know the people you liked to take lessons from.

NOTE FROM ME: If the DJs at your event share the playlists with Stacy, she would be able to easily add them to the lists she keeps from events and she really appreciates when you do that. I think her lists are a great help for planning your next dance adventure so thank you, Stacy, for all you do!

Subject: 🏆 Announcing the 2026 PS Winter Break Choreography Contest Winners! 🦩

From: PSWBc...@gmail.com

We’re thrilled to share the results of the 2026 Palm Springs Winter Break Choreography Contest — a two-round competition created to spotlight new choreography, celebrate originality, and elevate our amazing dance community.

This year brought a fantastic level of participation:
🩰 17 entries were submitted in the Beginner/Improver Division, and
🕺 16 entries were submitted in the Open Division.

The contest began with a demo round, where dances were evaluated on musicality, structure, overall appeal, and presentation. From there, the top three in each division advanced to the instructional round, where finalists were judged on clarity of teaching, engagement, and delivery.

⭐ Beginner/Improver Division finalists:

Terri Dungan with Oh Hi! (Nice to Meet You) https://www.copperknob.co.uk/stepsheets/200195/oh-hi-nice-to-meet-you
Brenda Shatto with Keychain https://www.copperknob.co.uk/stepsheets/202199/keychain
Raquel Reynolds with Funky Little Monkey https://www.copperknob.co.uk/stepsheets/201368/funky-little-monkey

⭐ Open Division finalists:

After the instructional judging round, we are delighted to announce this year’s champions:

✨ Beginner/Improver Division Winner: RAQUEL REYNOLDS
✨ Open Division Winner: BRENDA SHATTO

We are excited to confirm that Brenda Shatto will attend PS Winter Break 2026 and will be teaching on Saturday. Although Raquel is unable to join us this year, one of our fabulous flockstars will proudly teach her winning dance on Sunday.

A huge and heartfelt thank-you to our demo round judges — Kerry Maus, Bracken Heidenreich, and Cody Flowers — and our instructional round judges — Jo Thompson-Szymanski, Joanne Brady, and Gerard Murphy — for their time, expertise, and thoughtful scoring.

And thank you to everyone who submitted an entry in this year’s contest. Your creativity and dedication keep Palm Springs Winter Break fresh, fun, and full of inspiration.

More updates and flamingo-fabulous news coming soon — until then, keep creating and keep dancing! 🦩
