PD German Cup

The ball with the integrated German Cup competitions in latin and standard for the professionals was a great success. Apart from various little shows – among them a classic rumba performed by Ralph and Olga Müller – the audience was curious about the professional dancers.

The first competition was the German Cup Standard. five couples presented theirselves, danced a final and enthused the audience – particularly Benedetto Ferruggia/Claudia Köhler, the multiple world champions. Whether during the presentation, the final or the freestyle shows – the hall quaked. As honor dance for the victory Benedetto and Claudia showed a tango at its best. It can be seen at the Facebook site of the DTV PD.

After a break, that the audience used to dance, too, the latin competition started as well with the single presentation of the couples. After another dancing round for the audience the couples showed the classic danced final. The great performance of all couples caused thunderous ovations. After the freestyle presentation the tension was electrifying. Like in Dresden Pavel Pasechnik/Marta Arndt could win this competition, Kirill Ganopolsky/Kim Pätzug finished 2nd.
