With about 3 months to go to the 2010 NCDC - things are hotting up!

 

A lot has been achieved over the past few months.  The NCDC website has been updated with 2010 information, the Information Pack has been mailed out (over 1,200 pieces of mail), a highly qualified panel of adjudicators has been selected, the current World Professional South American Showdance Champions have been booked to perform & advertising space has been booked with TV, radio and newspaper companies. 

 

In addition to the wonderful trophies and/or certificates for all final place getters, $3,600 Prize money is on offer this year for the Adult Open Standard & Latin American Events sponsored by Canberra Tourism and up to $6,300 is on offer for the Professional Open Championships.  Winners of all graded events will receive a special gift pack with compliments of the Australian Dance Review.

 

We are excited to announce that on behalf of DanceSport Australia, the 2010 NCDC Adult Open 10 Dance Championship will be Australian representative selection event for the 2011 IDSF World Adult 10 Dance Championship.  The final of this exciting event will feature in the Saturday evening programme.  Who will win the right to represent Australia in 2011? 

 

Riccardo & Yulia's show will be breathtaking - you don't want to miss it.  They will perform on both evenings of the NCDC.  See why they are one of the World's leading exponents of the Latin American style.

Riccardo & Yulia will be available for private lessons on Thursday 24 June, Friday 25 June and Monday 28 June.  Book now  to learn from the World's leading Latin American professionals.    Click on this link for further information.

 

The excellent dance floor lighting introduced in 2008 will again be utilised in 2010 for the evening programmes.
