IDFA CANADIAN CLASSIC II a HUGE SUCCESS!

The IDFA Canadian Classic II on Saturday, November 4 was a Huge Success! Results and Photos are up on the site, www.canadian-classic.com. Over 500 photos are up taken by our Official Photographer, Glen Grant. The IDFA Canadian Classic II had double the athletes from the first Canadian Classic in October 2005. We are overwhelmed by the quality of athletes at the show and the camaraderie backstage (that is what it is all about). Natural Bodybuilding, Figure, and Fitness is a lifestyle that we live and are proud to be able to share with all of you. It goes far beyond the competitions and this is confirmed from all the stories we have heard from the athletes. Competing is a great goal and we feel honoured to be able to be a part of that goal. We also love to compete as well and will continue to do so. Gives us something to strive for. That is why we try so hard to make sure this goal you set for yourself is a great experience. We will continue to bring to you the best shows possible. That being said, 2007 is going to be awesome!

2 Troupes Victorious at 2006 CC II Urban Dance Championships!

The Urban Dance Championships, held on November 4, 2006 at the Glenn Gould Studio was an exciting show with a surprising twist. With double the competitors as last year, this year's competition showcased a new format with live onstage DJ/Host D.Shon as well as instant feedback from the judges Tamara Vahn, Laura Furtado and Special Guest Judge, Universal Recording Artist, Jully Black. 2Badd opened the show with a wicked routine. Vote for them on BET's "Wild-Out Wednesdays" Dec. 13. Check out the complete list of results, photos and profiles on the winning groups, visit www.canadian-classic.com.

The precisely choreographed and creative routines wowed the judges and after battling it out in 2 rounds, Rated E claimed the $500.00 First Place prize cheque and trophy. In a surprising twist, Jully Black declared Touch International the winners as well offering another $500 prize of her own money! Talk about a tough competition! Hawk Gurlz, 2005 champs, took the 2nd Place trophy. Congratulations to all for a top-notch performance!

Hi M. Campbell,

Thanks a lot for those informations about the IDFA. I'm always looking for organisations that are serious about drug testing (and unfortunately, as you may know, they are too few). Can you give more details about your politics on the subject?

I'll take a look at your web site later today, thanks!

Mo
