The competition was January 5 through 10 at Gaylord’s Opryland Convention Complex and featured entrants from across the United States and other countries.
Buchan competed in eight country dances including waltz, triple two-step, cha-cha, polka, east-coast swing, west-coast swing, two-step, and nightclub. She won best overall in her division and also won the highest honors for each individual dance.
