After having a couple of days to reflect on our Championship this year I wanted to take this opportunity to share some of my experience.
I would like to start by congratulating each and every competitor who breathed life into this event, you truly brought my vision to life. Without you we just have a room with pretty lights, you are the action and the beauty that our audience get to enjoy.
My personal thanks for all who volunteered their time for the weekend, the caterers, the marshals, the front of house and all who gave their time. Without you, these events can’t run and I’m so grateful to you all.
To the judges, the lighting crew, the music crew and the scrutineers, your presentation and delivery over the weekend was second to none and I’m so proud of the event you helped me present.
To our sponsors and supporters, thank you for your generous and continued support. You help us deliver NZ’s premier event and what a spectacular event it was!
Finally I would like to extend my warmest thanks and highest regard to Dusan Dragovic and Valeria Agikyan. You are both an absolute inspiration and seeing you dance has not only been a highlight of mine but to so many’s dancing journey. Thank you for your time, your knowledge and your passion for dance which you so freely shared with us.
Your showcase will live on in our hearts for a long time as a most touching and heart felt performance that we have been lucky enough to be a part of. All of our love and support to you both ❤️
To the NZFDT, thank you for trusting me with the championship, it was a truly remarkable experience.
Dan 🙏🏼
