Victorian Dancesport Championships 2021

It was another fantastic day out on the competition floor from the Just Rhythm team, with competitors across a wide range age groups and divisions at the Victorian DanceSport Championship it was a very full day of competition and spectating. Held at the Mooney Valley Racing Club, the event has been a favourite for our dancers over a number of years. For Terry Demjanovic it was an extra special event with a win in the B Grade Latin and C Grade Standard, he joins his uncle, father & brother with this title under his belt.

Congratulations to all our dancers who competed, we're thrilled to see the progression since we have come back from the extra long lay-off of 2019 and it's wonderful to see how supportive you are of each other. We can't wait for the next event. Thank you to Mark Jayawardena and Justin Rafol for partnering across the Coach & Student events.
