KIZOMBA

Danced Kizomba once when I was in Cambridge. Despite the first and only attempt never made me good enough to dance anything decent, Kizomba itself fascinated with its soft music, emotions, and connection with the partner. Interestingly, it is also gaining popularity in China and a friend invited me to a bar with latin dancing.

The promotional photographer of the event was friendly enough to take pictures of us when we asked him to, so we walked around the bar and took pictures in every corner we can find. So here we are, the three best friends, varying, unique, and in different stages of life, but it does not affect our laughter together. 

BLACKPOOL

I started learning dancesport less than two years ago due to un-satisfaction of the monotonous work at my job. I never thought that there will be one day I can see myself dancing a competition at Blackpool, at the same monument of the Winter Gardens where the world's best dancers once won their championship titles. This is a moment of a dream come true, or even a dream that I never dared to dream.

I will not love my time in Cambridge as much as I do now if I was not a member of CUDT. This team of talented, motivated, supportive, fun, and wonderful people make me feel so lucky I came to Cambridge. Lots of love and appreciation for CUDT.

Practice like you have never won. Dance like you have never lost.
