For the second time in two weeks, the ATOMIC Ballroom dancers threw down the gauntlet at another renowned swing dance camp, Camp Hollywood and the National Jitterbug Championships 2013!  It was an epic weekend with world-class dancing, classes and competitions (including an incredible underground battle competition featuring none-other than ATOMIC owners, Shesha and Nikki Marvin). Congratulations to all of the competitors from the ATOMIC family, Orange County, SoCal and the rest of the world!
