CHA…Cha…cha…!!
Cha…cha…cha….cha…123…123…
From cha cha to four steps, then Tango, Waltz….Whew!! Whew!!!
A dazzling stage，pairs and pairs of skillful Dancers dressed in gorgeous ball room dress and danced in a harmony dancing movements. Um..um…it wasn’t a show in the club. It was the Macau International Championships of Latin and Standard-dance which was held in function room in Macau Tower.
Ei…eh…although I don’t know how to dance or not a good dancer, I enjoy to see this kind of competition sometimes. Especially the event held on Saturday, my friend represented Hong Kong to participate the Open and Close Professional stand competitions. Of course, I have to cheer her on.
The whole championship started from noon to 9:00p.m and it was divided into three sections:
Noon section: Close Juvenile Latin under 12 years
All competitors were from HK, Mainland China and Macau. They must present Cha cha, Rumba, Tango and Jive per round.
There’s a little pair came from China, they are only 6 years and the very shortest, cuteness one in this section. The little girl is taller than the boy. They attracted a lot of audiences who showed for their no. “113, 113 Ka Iao (Ganbate)” Finally, they awarded an award.
Afternoon Section:
Close Amateur Standard plus Close Professional Standard. It was the same, participants were from HK, China and Macao. Somehow, it was a bit difficulty for them. They had to perform Waltz, Tago, Four Steps, Quick steps for each round.
My friend won the 2nd runner up. (OH….oh….yeh!!!!!!!!!!!) Bravo..!
Evening Section: Open Professional Latins
All teams are from overseas, Australia, England, Finland, German, Taiwan….etc.
This part was the most wonderful part in the whole day. Which country won?
It’s England Team. !
Here are some photos. (forgive my poor photo taking skills and the poor camera).

It must have been really exciting to see this live. Reminds me of the Richard Gere/Jennifer Lopez movie "Shall we Dance" or something like that.
The England pair looks convincing.
PP, thanks for sharing.
Convincing? The woman looks almost naked! I think that would definitely convince the judges (the male ones, at least)!
Reminds me of Richard Gere dancing with Prime Minister Koizumi. Not really!
Beautiful to watch. I used to play in a big dance band every weekend and there would be fifteen or twenty couples dancing - all kinds of dance. That was fun.
Happy:
I liked “Shall we Dance” so much and saw it in a theater too! The first comedy and romantic film of J. Lopez that I saw was “Maid in Manhattan) in 2002.
Moody:
Why you had that thought in mind? ;-) Actually, all Judges (male and female) showed their professional judgment.
PandaB:
That’s cool to play in a big band, hoping could see your performance at there one day!
I learnt ball-room dance long time ago, my coach brought us to a Club or Disco for practicing often.
I would love to see ball-room dance live :)
Ah... "shall we dance", the hollywood version is much better than the japanese version. Have you seen it?
Whoaaa.. you learnt ball room dance? can teach me? :D
Selba:
I haven’t seen the Japanese version, did you mean the one PandaB mentioned it? Richard Gere dancing with Prime Minister Koizumi?!? (L.O.L.)
Hahaha... no lah.. not Richard Gere dancing with P.M Koizumi.
The Japanese version is played several times in Celestial movie channel (cable TV).
PP, another interesting movie about dancing is "Dirty Dancing". The male lead is Patrick Swayze and the female lead is Jennifer something. I enjoyed that very much.
