Will Albanese and Kalistov challenge for the World Championship title in Bremen this coming Thursday?
The Grün-Gold-Club Bremen, a renowned dance club known for its strong formation teams and individual Latin dance pairs, is gearing up for the Youth Latin World Championships 2024 with high expectations. The club's A-Team, recognised as a leading squad both nationally and internationally in formation dancing, brings considerable strength and experience to the table.
The Youth Latin World Championships will see intense competition from numerous international clubs and countries with strong Latin dance traditions. While the specific rival clubs are not yet known, the event typically attracts top youth dancers from around the globe, as seen in similar competitions like the WDSF GrandSlam and South East Asian Championships.
Luna Albanese and Dimitri Kalistotar, along with Lukrecija Kuraite and Yigit Bayraktar, will represent the Bremen Green-Gold Club at the Championships. Albanese and Kalistotar have been on a winning streak this year, having won every competition they've participated in. Kuraite and Bayraktar, who are new to the age group at the Championships, aim to gain more experience at this level against older competition.
Kuraite, who has been taping her foot for five weeks due to an injury, has received the necessary medical clearance from doctors. A physiotherapist is part of the team from Bremen to help with any potential injuries or issues during the competition. The dance pairs are a bit concerned about the conditions in the competition hall, particularly the shiny, rubber-like coating on the dance floor, which is beneficial for social media broadcasts but feels a bit strange for the dancers.
The travel for the team went smoothly, with no flight delays, according to Jens Steinmann, the first chairman of the Green-Gold Club. Steinmann also mentioned that the ambitions of the two dance couples from Bremen are different. The preliminary round of the Championships starts on Thursday in Wuxi at 2 pm local time.
As the club continues to develop talent at multiple levels, ensuring a pipeline of dancers for future competitions, the Youth Latin World Championships 2024 promises to be an exciting event for the Grün-Gold-Club Bremen and its dancers.
Despite the Grün-Gold-Club Bremen's focus on dance, they find themselves facing competition in the Youth Latin World Championships from other internationally acclaimed sports clubs known for their strong Latin dance traditions. The dance pairs from Bremen, Luna Albanese and Dimitri Kalistotar, and Lukrecija Kuraite and Yigit Bayraktar, are well-prepared for theevent, with Albanese and Kalistotar remaining undefeated this year.
