Blackpool 2010

Super excited that Pasha & Daniella placed 6th in RS! What a great result for them!
Congrats also to Andrei & Kate, who made the semi, and to all the US couples in this event -- we had 7 in the top 49!
 
I'm kind of surprised with Pro Rising Star Results...although I didn't really know which couples would be dancing this category this year...or any year for that matter...I'm just always curious to see where the top couples in Pro Rising Star end up in Pro Latin (especially a year later...)

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Smagin...just a bit shocked that they turned pro a month ago and won rising star. They must have danced really well. Wonder how they will do in Pro Latin (I'm assuming they are dancing it?)
 
Champions and Notable Pro Standard dancers who must dance rom Round 1 in Blackpool because they have new partners:
Mirko Gozzoli (dancing with new partner Edita Daniute) (not sure if they will dance); Giampiero Giannico dancing with new partner Anna Mikhed (.); Victor Fung (dancing with new partner Anastasia Muravyeva); Mikhail Andeev (dancing with new partner Olga Blinova); Ikaika Dowsett (dancing with new partner Olya Zhuk).
 
So, it seems both Pro Rising Star events have been won by newcomers! Smagin & Kazatchenko just turned pro, and now Valerio Colantoni & Yuliya Spesivtseva, who were both pro before with other partners, have won in their first comp dancing together. What's that about?
 
Thanks everyone for the congratulations. We are excited to be dancing blackpool for the first time, and definitely love dancing here. More dancing on wednesday for us!

Results from Pro RS standard are up. The first place couple was very nice. I also liked the 3rd place a bit. It was a close match between 2, 3rd, and 4th place. Congrats to Lebedeve from Canada for making 5th, only couple in north america to do so.

Interestingly, I noticed the winners of Senior Standard came in 6th for Senior latin! quite impressive to do 10 dance well!
 
Congrats also. I like your blog. Just saw Olga Kinnard dance with her Pro-Am students and compete professionally at The Atlanta Open so it was interesting to read her interview.
