German Open Championships set the stage for many high level competitions again. Same procedure as every year? Yes and no. This year, 232 couples had come to compete in this class. So it took two days to find the six finalists. Winners were Heinz-Josef & Aurelia Bickers from Germany ahed of Michael & Beate Lindner (Germany), who were set on runners-up position. Armando Nespoli – Natalia Gualandris from Italy achieved 3rd place.

The results of the two German couples, Bickers and Lindner, are very interesting to analyze. National competitions all are won by Michael & Beate Lindner. In June 2013 again Michael & Beate became German Champions Senior II Standard. Heinz-Josef & Aurelia Bickers again were set in runners up position. Same procedure as … every year (since 2010).

Visitors of Saxonian Dance Classics 2012 lived to see another highlight this weekend in Coswig-Dresden. 34 couples from 13 countries had come to compete at WDSF Open Ten Dance. Supervisor Sibille Vinzenz and her “crew” did an excellent job under the chairmanship of Andreas Neuhaus.
