Viva Dance Team Successful in Blackpool

May 30th, 2009 by Admin

Congratulations to our instructor Serghei Pogonet and Anastasia Kazmina for their great results at the Blackpool Dance Festival, the most prestigious ballroom dance competition in the world that takes place annually in England.

Arthur Adamski and Alexandra Plaza celebrate their results in Blackpool, May 2009

The couple considers this year’s experience in Blackpool to have been extremely rewarding; they gained much from the actual competition as well as from the extensive training they did with the world’s top Dancesport pros in England while they were there. Serghei and Anastasia are now eager to share their new knowledge with their students back at Viva Dance.

In the professional Latin category, we congratulate Andre and Natalie Paramonov for placing 17 from 248 couples in the Latin category. They did particularly well in Paso Doble, placing in the top 9 couples.

In the amateur Latin category Viva Dance proudly congratulates Arthur Adamski and Alexandra Plaza (pictured above) for their outstanding results: 15 from 220 couples in the amateur Under-21 Latin category! A top achievment for Canada.
