Following the Canadian Closed DanceSport Championships in Toronto last month, and the BC Closed Championships in Nanaimo two weeks ago, DanceSport BC is proud to recognize our dancers and their accomplishments.
The 2011 Canadian Closed Championships
Fourteen couples from British Columbia flew to Ontario to participate in ten Championship events on Friday and Saturday. Particular congratulations are due to George Lindholm and Deborah Wong, Canada’s 2011 Senior II Standard Champions. George and Debbie bested a field of 23 couples over four rounds of competition to win the title.
