"This seems like one of the biggest crowds we've ever had," noted president Ray Lucas, as he and event chairman Guy Bragg watched hundreds of people stream into the Martin's West ballroom. "In this kind of economy, this just gives me goose bumps," Lucas added. Members Almie McIntyre Jr. and Mel Bates stood inside the ballroom door, greeting guests.

Fans of the reality show Dancing with the Stars, on which the frank and engaging choreographer is one of three judges, might think the show demonstrates ballroom dancing at its best. But Inaba says anyone wanting to see the genuine deal should head to the national ballroom dancing championships this weekend at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel.

The schmaltzy strains of "Moon River" flow from the speakers as couples start to waltz in a studio in Santa Monica, Calif.
