Every year, on the first Saturday in June, Fresno Smooth Dancers crowns a new queen in a ceremony at our Coronation Ball, a formal dinner dance. Our Queen then is an ambassador for our chapter at the coronation balls of the other seven chapter of National Smooth Dancers. Between our current queens, past queens and their escorts we come together at our state conventions already knowing many members of the other chapters.
