The Year in Pictures: 2006 Ballroom National Tour

The Best of 2006

Over the course of the past year,  I’ve attended just about every ball in Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and Detroit. Thankful for all my wins and moments!

I still haven’t decided whether or not I am taking a break from  ballroom in 2007 to completely immerse myself in my doctoral research, however, I do know that I’ll at least be at Atlanta's MLK Escada Ball in January. After that, I’ll make my decision.

Until then, enjoy the best and brightest photographs from 2006 (click on each link)….

Peace and Love, 

Frank Mizrahi
