This week was incredible important and also memorable for all dancers from around the world... we all were following Dutch Open 2014 taking place in Assen, Holland from 10th to the 16th of November!
And that's a promo clip from this year event:
From what I hear and see online it was truly unforgettable experience for everyone who had a pleasure to be there!
Dutch Open has 2 parts - Dance Camp and main Competition host for 4 days!
Dance Camp:
It is and amazing workshop were you have rare opportunity to be thought by best dancers in the world.
And here I have few pictures from this year camp with Riccardo & Yulia and also Donnie Burns current President of WDC (World Dance Coucil).
Also I have found some videos on YouTube, great to watch and also it gives a better understanding of the camp itself.

For me, myself and I last week was a week of reflection... One of the things I had on my mind were my parents. And it just happened that I found this video of Riccardo & Yulia performing Rumba to this song. To this specific song to which my parents met for the first time, danced together for the first time and from which my journey called life has began... <3 - Breathless performance:
Ok, so that would be all for today... See you soon!
Keep calm & DANCE!
