23rd Come Dancing Cup

At 2014, WDC AL Asian Tour World Cup was for the first time incorporated into 22nd Come Dancing Cup.  Open Amateur Standard & Open Amateur Latin Finals were slotted in the evening prime time.  Three couple were invited to do the Pro-Am shows for the first time due to my Pro-Am show student Jennifer Lee stopped dancing for one year. 

At 2015, I was excited to have Jennifer Lee come back to do Pro-Am show with me.  Coincidently, two other Pro-Am show couples showed their interest, which maintained the same number of three couples as last year.  Jennifer & I performed right before the Headlining of the evening.  For the year before, we had had lessons from Jason Roditis, Vladislav Borodinov , Luka Fanni, Jukka Hapaalainen , Massimo Giorgianni,  Laura Zmajkovicova, Ron Montez (in chronological order) to make up this most  expensive  Pro-Am show for us.  A new impact was created at 23rd Come Dancing Cup by introducing for the first time both the Open Professional Latin & Open Professional Standard Finals as the Headlining of the evening.  These two spectacular Finals were danced alternatively under the overseas adjudicating panel of Ron Montez (USA), Jerry Abrate (Italy), Alexey Belyaev (Russia), Judy Chou (Taiwan) David Lee (Taiwan), Antony Keung (Malaysia), Louis Ng (Singapore),  Michael Wang (Taiwan), Terence Lay (Macau), & few adjudicators from HK & China. 1st & 2nd couples for both events were invited to present their Honour Dances.

140 couples & 90 Solos entered in 2015, not superseding 2014 but the audience and fellow competitors both reflected to me that this year’s quality of competitors were the best of all Come Dancing Cup !
