There is an expression about dancers having two left feet.

Usually that is a criticism but not when the dancers have two right feet as well.

A group of dog lovers have become dog dancers and dancing with your dog has now become a global sport.

The World Canine Freestyle Organization runs it.

Some of the best dog dancers in the country came to Colorado over the weekend for a four legged version of "So You Think You Can Dance."

One of the participants, Patty Ventre, competes with her dog.

Now freestyle dancing has everything an Olympic event does, serious judges, scorecards, fans and even winners medals.
