			<content:encoded><![CDATA[It’s already wonderful that the <a href="http://www.ibalboa.com">Eastern Balboa Championship</a>s is just a short drive away, but this year EBC really had the feel of a top notch swing dance event, brimming with a level of excitement and enthusiasm that is almost unrivaled. EBC already felt like a Balboa family reunion, bridging the gap between <a href="http://www.allbalboa.com">All Balboa Weekend</a>s, but this year it felt like EBC really came into its own as an event. The new hotel for this year’s EBC, the North Raleigh Hilton, provided a lovely ballroom space, a big hallway with chairs and tables for vendors, registration, and for hanging out, and there were no shortage of extra rooms for practice space. There were competitions for everyone and I am proud of the newer Raleigh/Durham Balboa dancers, some of them only dancing Balboa for a few weeks prior to the event, taking the challenge head on and entering their first amateur competitions. <img src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lindyshopper.com&amp;blog=13243781&amp;post=4150&amp;subd=lindyshopper&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />]]></content:encoded>
