David Hamilton & Olga Foraponova Dance Video
In 1995 David took the national title with his partner at the time Teresa Shiry, followed by two more national titles with Olga Foraponova. Other titles include three time World Showdance finalist and 68 National Dance Council Championship events.
Olga left Russia in 1993, and she and her partner, Michael Mead, became finalists in the International Standard Ballroom at the US Ballroom Dance Championships in 1996.
In 1996, Olga started dancing with David Hamilton, a seasoned dancer from Nashville, TN, who had his own track record in the ballroom. Olga and David made instant fame when, with barely three months of practice after their initial teaming, they finished as runners-up, winning the respect and admiration of other competitors. So perfect were the vibrations between the two that they started accumulating honors and trophies immediately.
