Picture this: a whimsical train ride from Washington DC transports you to the enchanting town of Stamford, Connecticut. Stamford, with its charming streets and warm-hearted residents, sets the stage for something truly extraordinary.
A quick Uber ride brings you to the grand Hilton Hotel, your gateway to the Paragon Open’s world of pure enchantment. And enchanting it is, from the very first step you take into this dance wonderland. Everything feels like it’s been touched by a sprinkle of fairy dust, with creativity and thoughtfulness oozing from every corner.
The moment you check in, the phone rings, and it’s none other than Andrei, inviting you to join a party in the suite. How can you resist? As you enter, you’re welcomed with open arms by the ever-charming Luda. But it’s not just the warm embrace; it’s the feast for the senses that lies before you. I kid you not, there were over 15 delectable dishes to choose from. The competition hadn’t even started, and we were already under the spell of Paragon Open’s joy, fun, attention, and charisma.
Andrei and Luda’s presence permeates every nook and cranny of this marvelous event. You can feel their passion in every detail, making sure you’re having the time of your life.
Now, while we’re here to compete, Paragon Open makes it feel more like a grand celebration among family. But it’s not just any celebration; it’s an experience that can only be described as magical. The spirit of Halloween, the festivity of the season – it’s all in the air. We weren’t the only ones soaking in this incredible energy; the entire ballroom transformed into one big family of passionate dancers, all here to revel in the joy of dance and life itself.
But that’s not all! The ballroom pulsated with the energy of competition, filled with fantastic competitors, glamorous judges, and pros with beaming smiles. And backstage? It was a treasure trove, stuffed with beautifully wrapped candies and gifts, creating an atmosphere of wonder and delight.
Paragon Open – a place where magic and dance collide. Where the ordinary turns into the extraordinary. A world where every moment is a celebration, every step is an adventure, and where dancing is the language of enchantment.
Our students reveled in every second, filled with glee, and it was all thanks to the careful attention and support of Andrei Gavriline, Elena Kryuchkova and Luda Conti, the wizards behind this magical experience.
