Verona Open 2016

This was our 2nd time to Verona, the region famous for the setting of Romeo and Julliet.  The first time was to watch an opera in a Roman amphitheater.  This time was to compete in the Verona Open.  We made the final again and finished 4th out of 31 couples.  The winners are the current World Champions from Italy and it was great to share the floor with them.  With this latest result, we climbed our way back to 24th place on the WDSF world ranking list!  With new dancers qualifying for senior 1 every year, we are very proud to be among the best in the world.  

Low Cost April 17, 2016

We compete in the "Low Cost" competitions throughout the year in Italy, which aims to promote the sport.  It is free for spectators and held in sport halls which has the best big floors for dancing on.  There is no Senior 1 Open category so we always compete in the over 16 Adult Open category, along with some of the best dancers in the world.  We were quite happy to make a very strong quarter final and finished 23 out of 86 couples.  Next week, Verona!

Dance Master 2016, Bucharest Romania

We decided last minute to compete in the Dance Masters 2016 in Bucharest, Romania. It was the first time in Romania for both of us, and it is always exciting to travel to a new city/country. It is also exciting when we make it onto the podium, and finish 3rd! We were happy with our dancing and the audience was very appreciative of a couple coming all the way from Canada. One local who helped us take pictures said we were her favorite because we were small but had lots of energy and movement, she enjoyed watching us. We always appreciate acknowledgement from spectators. We feel very fortunate to live a life as a dancer and having the opportunity to travel and to meet many people from around the world.
