NWDC 2019 FLASHBACK
Pro/Am Competition
We were honored to host nearly 2,000 entries at our inaugural event! We could not be more proud of the students and professionals who took the floor and displayed their love of dance and the unparalleled camaraderie of the Fred Astaire Dance Studios community.
Glow Party
From West Coast Swing and Samba to Merengue and Salsa, Friday night was nothing short of electric! Line dancing with Tony, conga lines amidst glowing orbs, it was a dance-til-you-drop cocktail party. Congratulations to our Glow King and Queen, Ben and Emmalena.
Professional Battle Royale
Ilya Velednitsky and Mariya Ilchenko
Aaron and Iryna DeSoto

Three top Professional Rhythm Couples went head-to-head for your applause, vying for the live (and virtual) audience-elected Royale Championship Title! Relive the action…
Charity Gala
Thank you to all of our students, professionals, donors, volunteers and local Portland community for being part of our first-ever dinner and auction. Together, we raised over $30,000 to benefit Tony Dovolani’s Foundation for Special Needs Children! 100% of the money raised was gifted directly to three organizations, which provide services to children and young adults on the autism spectrum: The Kennedy Center, ASD Fitness Center, and Ability Beyond.
