Lowcost Prato 2015

Prato is a small town in the beautiful region of Tuscany.  We competed this past Sunday here at one of the Lowcost series competitions.  It is called Lowcost because it is only 9€ for a couple to compete and free entrance for the audience which is a great way to promote the sport.  These competitions invites WDSF international judges and draws a lot of top couples.  Lowcost competitions around Italy are always held in Sport Halls, where they have nice large floors and you can really unleash your body flight.  We always have to compete in Over 16 yr category because it is the only Open to the world category.  Senior categories are closed to only Italians.  We placed 20 out of 96 couples.  Another good fight.   

Antwerp Diamond Cup 2015

This is the fourth year we compete in Antwerp, Belgium.  We travelled by plane, train, and bus and finally arrived at the hotel after 6 hours of traveling.  This year, they were holding the Senior 1 10-dance and Senior 3 Standard World Championships at Antwerp Diamond Cup. It is amazing to see how much the calibre has gone up in all the categories.  We finished top 10 out of 36 couples and were very happy with how we danced and placed.  Considering 8 out of 9 couples ahead of us ranked top 10 in the world, we think we put on a pretty good fight! #dancesport #training #competition
