Congratulations to Charlotte Carey and Kostadin Bidjourov, of the Upper Montclair Fred Astaire. Charlotte has been dancing for years, and only came to find Kostadin after seeing him dance in a show with his professional partner, Carrie Babcock. After a few years of struggle, she decided to leave her former teacher (non-FADS) to study with Kostadin. Charlotte has been dancing with Kostadin for 2 years now. Here’s what the EMERALD Ball review had to say.

Emerald Ball Pro/Am C Open Standard Championships
Review by Didio Berrara
“Somewhat unexpected but very deserving of the honor of winning this competition was Charlotte Carey partnered by Kostadin Bidjourov. I have watched this lady dance now for many years and have always been a fan of her dancing. I always thought her energy was good and her understanding of the skill, high. On this occasion I think Charlotte has jumped way ahead of her teammates. I have never seen her dance the Standard so well. She was totally in a league of her own, miles away from the challengers. This was a geat win for Charlotte but even a greater win for her dancing.”
