The world’s largest dance tournament, the German Open Championships, took place in Stuttgart from August 8th, 2023 to August 12th, 2023. The entire dance elite gathers here every year. Over the 5 days, national and international tournaments will be held in three halls at the Stuttgart trade fair. The disciplines of solo dance, boogie-woogie and breaking are also represented.
Martin Lutz and Katarzyna Rybinska, from 1. TSC Frankfurt Oder, also traveled to the GOC. On August 11th, 2023 they took part in the Senior II Standard Rising Stars tournament. The starting field consisted of 59 couples who came from Italy, Austria, the USA, France and Lithuania, among others. Due to this large number of participants, the tournament stretched over 4 preliminary rounds and the final. The dancing took place in the Beethoven Hall and the Old Riding Hall. Martin and Katarzyna danced their way to the final round after round until they finally reached it. After another 5 dances in the final, they were able to prevail against the competition and achieved 1st place.
We congratulate you on this excellent achievement and wish you continued success.
