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.

Eight years ago Ventre and a group of women founded the official organization sponsoring dog dancing competitions.

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