Fourth in this Smooth heat and in every dance went to Ilya Abdullin & Anastasija Jerjomina. We prefered this nine-dance couple this evening in the Rhythm, but fourth was a good placement for them in this heat. Fifth, also in all dances went to Dmytro Pohybil & Alona Kushnir. From fifth down there was slight changes - Evgenii Grinin & Olga Morozova placed 7th in the waltz and sixth in the other three dances and were awarded sixth overall, leaving seventh overall to Pavel Lebedev & Ekaterina Romashkina 6,7,7,7. We were quite surprised with this placement for this couple. We figured they might be placed slightly higher but it was not to be on this outing.

One thing the PDC is famous for is its after party and last night's certainly did not disappoint! Lots of food and drinks and most important - a live Latin band for those who had not had enough dancing! Congrats to the organizers - Chuck Danza & Igor Litvinov.
A Hero’s Welcome!
