Dutch Open 2007

PART OF THE ISRAEL DELEGATION TO HOLLAND 2007

OUR FIRST DAY IN ASSEN SHOPPING BEFORE THE DUTCH OPEN 2007

DUTCH OPEN 2007

A message from Israel.

We had a wonderful trip with moments of extreme joy and heart break, of satisfactions and disapointments, we learnt so much and took away so many memories. We made new friends and met old ones. We danced and sang and shouted and cheered. We saw some of the best dancers in the world dancing one meter in front of us. We were judged by some of the best judges in the world. We watched icons such as Donnie Byrnes and Gaynor Fairweather and we also saw future stars in the making. This was a trip to remember. Thank you Fred for making all of this possible.

FIVE COUPLES FROM AIDA REPRESENT ISRAEL AT THE WORLD FAMOUS "DUTCH OPEN" IN HOLLAND 2007.

This is the third consecutive year that Israel has been proud to send young talented couples to compete in the famous "Dutch Open" in Holland. Our couples are beginning to be noticed from Juveniles to Amateurs.

This is one of the best international competitions in Europe and certainly the most fun. I highly recommend everyone to experience the wonderful three day congress and four day competition with top, world class dancers.

This year the Professional Ballroom included three couples who reached the finals at Blackpool plusTimothy Howson and Joanne Boulton and of course Gozzoli who took first place yet again.

The same evening we witnessed all the excitement of the Amateur Latin rounds with three of our couples from Israel and at the end Hanna gave a breathtaking display of artistry in a balletic exhibition which had us gasping at her exquisite expertise. It was all an incredible end to four thrilling days of non stop dancing.

I fully intend going again next year.

Sport Director.
