World Championship JMD in Mikolajki/Poland
Anna Grünwald and Nina Knan (TSG Bavaria Augsburg) are the new
World Champions in the discipline Duo Modern Children.
"autres choses" (TSC Blau-Gold Saarlouis, see photo) showed
an unbeatable performance and won the gold medal in the discipline
Small Groups Modern. The German runners-up "outfaced" (Tanzverein
90) reached the fifth place (out of 16 teams in total).
On the last day, "autres choses" took the 2nd place in the
Formation section. DTV-representative Horst-Werner Schmitt was
especially happy about this silver medal, as this is "the supreme
discipline and the basis of Jazz and Modern Dance in Germany".
At his first World Championship in the Solo Modern Male
section, Sebastian Spahn (TSC Blau-Gold Saarlouis) won the silver
medal straightaway. He reached the semi final without effort and
managed to enter the final with an increased performance. Patrick
"Paddy" Griebel, also from Saarlouis, improved his result from last
year (8th place) and finished fourth.
The next day, Patrick Griebel and his partner Maria Cipriano
competed in the discipline Modern Duos Adults and won the bronze
medal.
