Austen’s Power

This dance competition kicks it olde-school.

In the works of Jane Austen, dance ignites powerful passion. This is an amazing thing given that, in Austen’s time, men wore wigs, and women corsets. Even as ribs groaned and beefy Englishmen pranced, couples fell in love. Fast-forward 200 years to the discovery of the female thigh. If a country ball could set hearts aflutter, it is difficult to picture the power harnessed by hundreds of modern-day dancers writhing in time to a swift salsa. Your imagination can rest during the 38th Grand National Dance Championships when legions of world-class dancers converge on Miami Beach. Vibrant as parakeets on a Miami porch, the dancer’s lithe bodies and passionate embraces guarantee swooning. Have a care, though. Love can be a dangerous thing.

The event kicks off this Thursday and continues through Saturday, with challenges and events for solo and partner dancers. Infuse passion into your dull existence and watch the pros get twirled and tossed at Miami Beach Resort & Spa. For a complete schedule, call 954-227-1760 or visit www.grandnationalchampionship.com.
