Posted : Monday Sep 21, 2009 12:10:27 EDTBy day, Capt. John Scheuren is a research analyst and liaison officer at the Air Force Joint Test Program Office.
By night, he's one of the top amateur cabaret dancers in the world. And he's about to turn pro.
Scheuren and his partner, Georgia Ambarian, won the U.S. pro/am cabaret competition Sept. 12 in Orlando, Fla.
Later that night, the competition's judges encouraged him to take his hobby to the next level.
"Itwas cool, it was like at one 1 o' clock in the morning at the bar, myAir Force buddies were there, and the most powerful people in ballroomdancing were there," Scheuren said.
Scheuren started dancing in2006 when some "Dancing With the Stars" pros put on a charity show nearEglin Air Force Base, Fla., where Scheuren was stationed at the time.Scheuren picked up got a flier for a free dance lesson at a nearbystudio, and the rest is history.
Scheuren, whose call sign is"Tiny Dancer," said most professionals dance full- time, but he thinkshe can go pro without giving up his day job.
"I've always danced at night, in my off-duty time," he said. "Instead of watching TV, I dance."
Scheurenwasn't able to practice regularly with Ambarian leading up to thecompetition because he's based in Virginia and she lives in Florida,but he stayed in shape using an Air Force cardio-fitness routinesupplemented with CrossFit and kettlebell training.
He needed to be in shape to properly perform the high-energy lifts and throws of his three-minute cabaret routine.
"It's so physically demanding, you can't do it twice or someone would probably die," Scheuren said.

That does it, the end of the world is nigh, I propose no more call signs...this guy has ruined it for everyone who actually "deserves" a call sign.
