AIDA Dance couples had amazing results at The Internationals, including our multiple first place medals! When you're a high level competitive dancer, Professional or Amateur, you tend to dance a lot of competitions, sometimes with barely any rest in between. Well our couples exemplified that perfectly as some of them danced THREE competitions in one week! The International Championships is the first major international competition of the competitive season, and is sandwiched between two other competitions, Europa Imperial Championships and The London Ball. Some of our couples danced 3 times in a 5 day span! That is what we call dedication!

The week started off with some of our couples competing at the Europa Imperial Championships, and our couples showed just why they are considered some of the best in the world!

Dan Malov and Anna Kaczmarski - 2nd in the Amateur Ballroom Championships 

Vlad Shakhov and Ekaterina Popova - 3rd in the Professional Ballroom Championships

This was an absolutely fabulous way to start off The International Championships, as our couples were off to Brentwood, England to dance the qualifying rounds of the competition before heading to the Royal Albert Hall. Most of our couples qualified for the Royal Albert Hall in London, England and some even WON their respective categories! It is everyone's dream to dance at the Royal Albert Hall, which is arguably the most famous entertainment hall in England!
