Ragen Chastain and her three National Dance Championships

If you are at all familiar with Ragen, you will know that she claims to have won three  National Dance Championships (this is a screenshot of her blog post from 4/12/2012).  There are even claims of her being an International Dance Champion.  Let’s discuss…

She says her national championship titles are with the American Country Dance Association.

Upon looking at the results on their website, there are only two records of her participation at a regional level.   Here and here.

An e-mail was sent.  The ACDA said they only have one record of her participation at a national level.  She won a line dancing award in a category where she was the ONLY participant.

EDIT:  It has come to my attention, through a series of posts on her blog and some debunking on Reddit, that something is up with this.  I will update this post as I work through and confirm this.  Leaving this post as a placeholder and once I get to the bottom of it, I will update.
