Wednesday, 06 January 2010 23:56

On the 11-13th December the Australian Dancesport Championships were held at the Hisense Arena in Melbourne.
28 Registered South Australian couples attended this championship event and they were among 726 couples from all over Australia and overseas.

Event organisers were very pleased with the numbers, the highest number of entries for some years. Considering the downturn in the economy  these large events have had good support.

During the weekend we saw participants from all categories (Masters/Juniors/Juveniles/Youth& Adult) competing. The standard of competition was very high and improving every year.

The following South Australian Couples were placed in their events. We would like to congratulate them on their success.
