The Crown Cup Dubai 2015: Ballroom Dance Championship

The World ProAm SuperStars Championship Crown Cup 2015 took place on 12th and 13th of February, 2015 in Dubai, UAE. It is an annual largest ballroom dance championship in UAE, a part of Crown Cup World Dance Series that also takes place in Macao (China) and Vilnius (Lithuania). Together they gather over a thousand of guests, visitors and dancers from various dance schools every year.

What does a ProAm mean?

The Pro/Am is an abbreviation for "Professional" and "Amateur" which means that such dances are performed by mixed couples where one of the partners is an amateur and another is a professional dancer. It is similar in a way to what you may see at "Dances with the Stars" TV show. Such cooperation of dance partners with different dancing levels has many advantages, e.g.:

• it's much easier and more comfortable for newcomers to perform at their first dance competitions;
• the more experienced partner shares confidence and gives some courage which are always helpful for the amateur;
• it's more effective to practice and train with professional partner as you improve faster.

However, at Pro/Am dance competitions, only the amateur is judged – that is a fair approach.

Our dance studio participation

It was a first dance competition for most of our students, so everybody was a little bit nervous. Our dance studio prepared six couples consisted from amateur students and professional dance teachers. Most of our students started taking dance lessons with us only 3-4 months before the competition. We consider it quite a short space of time, and that's why we are very proud how our students improved and how well they performed at the championship. Besides, it was also a contest among schools to find out the best dance studio in Dubai.
