Dance Dance Dance 舞 舞 舞

I was given a ticket to the "8th President Cup Dancesport Championships" dance competition event on 25 Oct 2009. The event was supposedly the major event for the ballroom/latin dance community.

To get the free ticket, I promised to take some half decent pictures and post them. So here is my homework.

I know nothing about dance, but this couple's dance caught my eyes and I took quite a few pictures. They ended up winning the championship in the amateur group. The first two pictures were taken during the competition, and the last one was during their "honor dance" after winning the championship. The lighting condition of the venue was different thus the difference in the color tone.

A few more pictures from the ballroom dance groups. The couple in the first picture got an award for joining the most competition (or was it for generally doing well in competitions?)

And look at how much they sweat! No wonder ballroom or latin dance was advertised as a mean to get slim.

Two more ballroom dance pics. This couple eventually won the championship in the pro group.

The following pictures were taken in the amateur latin dance group. This girl & her partner went on to win the championship in the amateur group. THe first picture taken during the competition, the last one at the honor dance.

Very eye catching and energetic!

The blue couple.

And the red couple.

I really thought this couple was the best in the pro latin dance group. Because they looked like very much into the dance, make good eye contacts, having fun, etc... But they ended up the 2nd in their group.

The winner in the pro group was this couple.
