Slowly but surely we are approach­ing the date (pssst, keep novem­ber 8^th free in your agenda) that we can open the stu­dio to the pub­lic. It is always a little bit more work than you hope for from the begin­ning but it is fun to see it evolve. Dur­ing the work some things change. We now have a little bit more color than ori­gin­ally planned The cor­ridor is colored very refresh­ing and we got some very nice big green plants for loan. It makes the whole thing imme­di­ately more alive. With the pic­tures below you can get a bit of the feel of the stu­dio. I will not yet show all though as I hope you will all come to see it with your own eyes on novem­ber 8^th!

Today I picked up my new part of iden­tity. I am still look­ing sur­prised when I pass the mir­ror and am feel­ing a bit dizzy. Hope I will get used to them soon.

Yes, it is already so far that I had to order glasses for me. Oth­er­wise I am quite a danger while driv­ing in the dark.

We were walk­ing through the city and decided just to have my eyes checked. We ended up try­ing next to everything what was avail­able in the shop. I didn’t plan to order them but at the end I picked up one of the most expens­ive ones and had my order printed.

Start­ing from Fri­day Octo­ber 3^rd sev­eral World Cham­pi­on­ships in Ball­room and Latin Amer­ican dances as well as the Ger­man Cham­pi­on­ships took place in one of the most beau­ti­ful halls of Ger­many. The Rosen­garten Hall in Man­nheim was full of dan­cers from all over the world, includ­ing Peter and Maria who par­ti­cip­ated in the World Cham­pi­on­ships in Latin on Friday.

They danced very good and reached the 15^th place out of 24 couples. They looked stun­ning on the floor in their new out­fit. I put nearly 10.000 Swarovski rhinestones onto Maria’s dress and accessor­ies. You couldn’t miss her on the floor. Peter, in his match­ing out­fit, was look­ing very strong and mas­cu­line. We took a few details shots of the dress and will make a spe­cial shoot­ing to show the com­plete dress in its full glam­our. I decided to name this dress “Black Caviar”. It is as lux­ury and sel­dom as the real caviar.

But Sat­urday was the most import­ant day for us. We were going for gold. Peter and Maria had a chance to become Ger­man cham­pi­ons. I am happy and proud to say that they didn’t miss this chance. The golden medals matched per­fectly with the gold-silver dress. It was just meant to be worn by a champion.

Con­grat­u­la­tions Peter and Maria!

More of my stu­dents spent the 3 days com­pet­ing for Ger­man Cham­pion titles in dif­fer­ent dance styles. But that is a topic for another article.
