“Latino Dance World Championship” in Nauders at Reschenpass

The Tyrolean Oberland is “step by step“ becoming the dance mecca of the Alps. The hosting of the 5th Latino Dance world Championships (July 7-13, 2008), that brings the elite Latin dancers to Nauders, has definitely earned Nauders a place among the great. Approximately 1500 of the world’s best dance couples are expected to partake in this mega event. It will be all about salsa, merengue, jitterbug, bachata, but also disco hustle, fox, swing and blues in the World Championship Hall in Nauders. Noteworthy is also that during this FESTIVAL OF LATIN DREAMS, the official Swedish and international championships in Swedish BUGG take place.

Dance groups like Rueda de Casino, synchronized dancing and Latin show teams add another dimension of rhythm to the event. The famous dance school Polai from Innsbruck is hosting the event. The school has earned many awards and recognition in Austria and beyond, and was recently to be seen on ORFs hit TV-show Dancing Stars. Ferry Polai is also the official representative for the International Dance Organization (IDO), and assigned as such this dance event to Nauders. IDO was founded 1981 in Florence, and has today representatives all over the world. The organization holds European and World Championships for professional and amateur dancers in all dance categories. In connection with the world championship, the IDO and Ferry Polai host a Dance Congress in Nauders (July 7-9, 2008) with world-famous dance experts. (For more info visit www.nauders.info
