\"Nine<\/a>

Nine Stort Silver medalists in 2015! Two of us were Americans. There was also a gold medalist this year. Gold medals are seldom given, and honor people who have given significantly to the movement over many years. Two of the Uppdansning judges have been awarded gold medals.<\/p><\/div>\n

Here is my silver medal on the left, and Stort Silver on the right below the certificate for the Stort Silver.<\/p><\/div>\n

I have been extremely fortunate that Stig Eriksson offered to be my partner for this testing process. He is one of the best dancers in Sweden. He and his wife Helen completed their Stort Silver in 2000. With Stig I earned Bronze in 2008, Silver in 2010, SSI in 2012, and SSII in 2014. I”danced up” for SSIII or Stort Silver this summer in 2015 and was successful!<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a>

Happy winners!<\/p><\/div>\n
