Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how most of the top dancers in the world are European (mostly Easatern European)? Anyone awesome is from Russia, Italy or Poland. It really got us thinking - well do they maybe have power in numbers.
Research shows that Russia indeed leads with 35%. Russia is followed by Italy, Germany, and Poland, with 8%, 5%, and 4% of all couples respectively. In fact us non-European dancers (Asian, American, Canadian etc.) are a minority - we make up 10% of the entire dance population. I feel like we should all procreate and have ballroom dancing babies! Or hopefully all of the people watching Dancing With the Stars will be inspired to put their kids in ballroon classes.
*I just wanted to mention that all calculations were based on numbers from http://idsf.dancesport.cz/ranklist.php.
