Who Said I'd Never Dance Again?: A Journey from Hip Replacement Surgery to Athletic Victory

Darla Davies is the only competitive athlete and ballroom dancer to claim the United States Pro Am American Smooth Championship title, succumb to hip replacement surgery, and then fight back to regain the national championship in less than three years. Darla continues to win championship titles across the nation each year. Darla, along with her dance partner and husband Jim Maranto, has appeared on PBS television's America's Ballroom Challenge and they have visited with contestants on the set of Dancing with the Stars. The couple maintains extensive relationships in the national ballroom dancing market while maintaining a residence in Charlottesville, Virginia where they still have friends and a dance coach. Most of Darla and Jim's time is spent in the Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona area and traveling around the country to competitions.
