Australian DanceSport Championship Celebrates 70th Anniversary

Featuring World Professional Latin Super Stars Stefano Di Filippo & Chesnokova

The prestigious annual Australian DanceSport Championship will be held this year from the 11th – 13th December at Hisense Arena in Melbourne. The competition will be fierce and the dancing HOT! as couples compete to take out the 2015 Australian titles and dance against the world’s best.
Entering its 70th year is a milestone achievement for the ‘Aussies’ as the event is affectionately labelled; a new era has begun for an event with an exceptional history which commenced in 1945 at Melbourne Town Hall.
The ‘Australian’ is not only the premier DanceSport event in Australia but remains one of the key events on the international circuit and within the Oceanic region. This year athletes from over 20 countries will travel to Australia to take part in this annual event. This provides Australian athletes with the opportunity to compete against some of the world’s best on home soil and for Australian audiences to witness the skill, glamour and athleticism of World-class DanceSport.
This year’s stunning DanceSport Showcase will feature World Professional Latin Super Stars Stefano Di Filippo and wife Chesnokova (Dasha). Stefano won his world title here in Australia in 2008 in what he described as one of his most memorable experiences of his career. Fans are advised to keep an eye on the website for details on an exciting Master Class by the couple.
The 2015 program will incorporate 2 feature nights with Stefano and Dasha opening with a taster demonstration on the Saturday night finals and followed by the Juvenile Open, Masters 1 Open Latin, Australian Closed Latin and the WDSF International Standard.
This year’s Sunday evening Grand Finals DanceSport Showcase will feature a spectacular opening starring some of your Dancing with the Stars favourites performing a HOT routine with Australia’s top Latin couples, a full floor show from Stefano & Dasha which is sure to thrill, as well as an exciting program incorporating the Junior Open, Youth Open, Professional Open, Masters 1 Open, Australian Closed Standard and the WDSF International Open Latin.
