Thriving Across Multiple Tiers: The Resurgence of the Black and White Club
Black-White Club Pforzheim Shines at the Junior Standard Championship in Öhringen
Last weekend, the Junior Standard Championship was held in Öhringen, and the Black-White Club Pforzheim made a strong showing. The club, based in the town of Pforzheim, was well-represented in the main group A Latin state championship, with three pairs qualifying for the seven-pair final.
In the main event, Yevgen Golovchenko and Evita Badt from the Black-White Club Pforzheim took home the championship title, winning all five dances. Their impressive performance was closely followed by Marvin Fischer and Daphne Fischer from TSC Rot-Weiß Böblingen, who finished in second place. The Rot-Weiß Öhringen dance sport club, which hosted the event, also had a strong showing, with Julian Pfersich and Vanessa Lehnart from Tanzsportclub Besigheim finishing in 7th place.
The Black-White Club Pforzheim also had success in other competitions. In the children D standard, Danila Fix and Emilia Maglia finished 5th, and in the youth I C standard, Elias and Maya Völker won the state championship title. In the junior I B standard, the club's pair of Ivan Smekalkin and Ivanna Bondaryeva took home the state championship title, while Elias and Maya Völker, who had previously won the C class, finished 4th in the junior I B standard.
The audience in the Weissacher Seeguthalle enjoyed four exciting rounds of the main group A Latin state championship, with a total of 25 pairs starting the competition. Kevin Baumann and Alisa Klemm from the Black-White Club Pforzheim finished 4th, and Fabio Rothmund and Laura Zezelj from Royal Dance Remseck finished 3rd.
However, a quick search reveals that there is no documented prominence or historical record of the Black-White Club Pforzheim dominating State or Junior Standard Championships. While the club has had success in various competitions, it does not appear to have a unique or exceptional history of dominance in these championships.
The Black-White Club Pforzheim also had success in other competitions, with Samuel Völker and Polina Fast finishing 6th in the children D standard and Simon Pozarski and Caroline Böck winning first place in the "king's class" youth A standard. Despite not having a documented history of dominance in the State or Junior Standard Championships, the Black-White Club Pforzheim is certainly a force to be reckoned with in the world of dance sports.
During the Junior Standard Championship, the Black-White Club Pforzheim showcased their prowess, particularly in football, as one of their members, Ivan Smekalkin, excelled in the junior I B standard. Additionally, the club maintains a formidable presence in dance sports, as seen in their multiple victories and podium finishes, such as Elias and Maya Völker's state championship title in the youth I C standard.
