Clean Sweep in Gothenburg
This article is available in:
What a weekend! Bendixen Dans was represented in the finest manner in the beautiful setting of Gothenburg, where the Swedish Open was held, true to tradition. It was a tournament characterized by high intensity, elegance, and—not least—an impressive haul of medals for our talented dancers.
U19 Champions Win Both U21 and Adult Categories
There was no doubt about the form of Marcus and Veronika when they took to the floor in the two major Ballroom categories. The couple delivered a performance in a league of its own and could return home with two gold medals in the U21 and Adult categories respectively, despite the fact that the couple normally competes in U19.
Winning both categories underlines their towering level. A massive achievement!
The results of the finals were as follows:

Impressive Pro Am Results
We also had the pleasure of having Luisa and Oliver on the floor in the Pro Am divisions. Pro Am is gaining increasing popularity, and the level in Gothenburg was incredibly high. Luisa and Oliver danced with great conviction and secured two fantastic placements:
1st place in Silver
2nd Place in International Ballroom Scholarship B.
It is a pleasure to see the hard work in the studio translate into such great results on the international stage.
Pride Shines Through
At Bendixen Dans, we are incredibly proud of our dancers. It takes dedication, discipline, and countless hours of training to compete at the top of the Scandinavian tournaments, and this weekend has shown that our couples are among the absolute best.
A huge congratulations to everyone on the fantastic results!
We look forward to seeing you all back in the studio, where we will build on this great momentum.
