Performance of our dancers at the final Finnish Championship 2025 in 10 dances

On October 4, 2025, the city of Tampere hosted the Finnish Championship in 10 dances — the final national championship of the dance year.
Earlier in the season, two key championships had already taken place: the Latin American Championship and the European (Standard) Championship. The 10-dance championship is a true test of endurance and versatility, as dancers perform both styles — Latin and Standard — in a single event.
Dance Club “Master” was represented in four age categories, and our dancers showcased beautiful, confident performances and excellent preparation — a testament to their high level of skill.
