Dance into the light

Tonight Colombo comes alive as dancers and dance enthusiasts get ready for the Mobitel International Dancesport Championships 2007. The Championship is produced by Footwork, and on par with past championships, the evening promises to be a spectacular event.

The event brings together competitors from the South Asian region and of course, Sri Lanka.

This year, for the first time, competitors will also be arriving from neighbouring India. Adjudicators will be invited from Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Macau, Malaysia, India, China and Japan. The highlight of the Championship will be the demonstration dance show and tonight, former World Latin American Champions Jukka Haapalainen and Sirpa Suutari will be performing a 5-dance floor show.

Tonight's show, which starts at 7p.m. features the finalists of each event, opening with the contestant's parade where each team from the participating countries will be introduced to the audience. The first half of the show will be the standard section followed by the presentation of awards to the winners. The Latin American events will take place next, followed by the awards presentation for that section. The performance by Jukka and Sirpa will be the grand finale.
