I found videos of these guys on YouTube last night after someone had mentioned them to me. The Les Twins are a hip-hop dance duo consisting of the identical twins Laurent and Larry Bourgeois from Sarcelles, Val d'Oise, France. You may have seen them in Beyonce's Run The World music video and performances. Amazing dancers - check out some of their videos.

Alexei Silde & Anna Firstova Retiring!
Alexei Silde and Anna Firstova have retired form competitive ballroom dancing! They will be focusing on coaching and adjudicating. the couple has won various multiple IDSF World Amateur Latin and IDSF World Professional Latin championships. I wonder if the stress of sticking solely to IDSF did them in.
Its truly unfortunate - they were an amazing couple who deserved their number 1 position. But thanks to YouTube their legacy shall live on :)

Gotta Love the Italians
I discovered the Italians this week. In addition to the beautiful Italian sites, great designers, delicious food, cute boys and soccer – Italy has produced great dancers as well. Maurizio Vescovo naturally comes to mind, but let's not forget the amateur couples. Some of the ones I have discovered (or been introduced to) are Gabriele Goffredo and his then partner, sister Antonia Goffredo; and Nino Langella and Kristina Moshenskaya. Their speed, rhythm and precision is amazing. Even more reason to love anything Italian.

Franco and Oxana Split!
Just read this on dancesportinfo.net. Truly saddening! But we wish them the best for their future endeavours.
By mutual agreement, Franco Formica & Oxana Lebedew decided to terminate their partnership after 4 years of dancing with each other. They were several times German Professional Latin champions, bronze medalists of the WDC World Professional Latin championships and WDC European Professional Latin. Franco and Oxana were hugely popular couple with the audience wherever they competed. Amongst their achievements they can count the 3rd place at the Blackpool Festival, UK Open and the International.
