Meet Jenell Maranto, world-class Dancesport adjudicator and...

*  Two-time U.S. Professional American Smooth Champion, with her business and dance partner, Jim Maranto.

*  Finalist in U.S. International Standard Championships
Winners of every Professional Rising Star Standard competition in the U.S.

*  Winners of every professional American Smooth title in the United States.

*  Ranked among the top 6 in the World Showdance.

*  She and Jim are winners and four-time nominees of the U.S. Feather Dance Awards.

Those are impressive accolades! I'm thrilled she took time out of her busy schedule to do this interview.

The fun fact about Jenell and me is that we have known each other for decades. When I lived in Phoenix, Arizona in the early 1990s, I taught at her studio,  The Academy of Ballroom Dance. 

It was a blast to once again spend a few hours in this tiny, powerhouse studio where I used to rehearse and teach and where so many amazing professional and amateur dancers have been trained.
