I had the pleasure to watch " Julianne " and Marc Ballas ( Corky and Shirley's son )in 1999's Nevada Star Ball where they competed and showcased International style 10 dances.

While Julianne was only 13 and not having her own long nails ( of course ), she carried a makeup case with red fake nails which were to be attached right before their competition/showcase. Those nails did make an extended dimension to their beautiful dance lines. Even without the nails, I am pretty sure their dancing still would be quite impresive.

Most impressively was Julianne left United States for England in December of 1998, at such time she had not learned International Standard yet, and in just short 8 months she and Marc took British Junior 10 dances championship. My son had the honor to team up with her for a short partnership of 6 wks . Both of us are very happy to see her wonderful success, of course.

Woah Nose!!! Ugly!?? You better watch out and not reveal your identity to anyone, lest somebody's long 'ugly' (sic) fake nails scratch out your "deleted derogatory adjective" eyes...

Although I have wondered, how do they tie their shoelaces, or do some of those other things, with those nails!! Beats me, my nails are cut to the quick always...

I am waiting to see where this thread takes course. Enjoy dancing.
