    Finally - a Brit wins something on the Aussies turf...

    Just in case anyine is feeling very patriotic, Adam won the Advanced DWAS in the Aussie champs - apparently they do it somewhat differently down there - rotated partners et al ... so you really do get pitched against everyone - apparently he devastated the local talent - ie iall the invitees - teachers etc

    Basically he done well !

    If you're reading this big congrats Adam.

    In my strange little world I would class this as the top award I would like to win. The sooner we adopt this approach to DWAS the better.

    Are we talking about Adam Nathanson - "the guy the Aussies love to hate".
    If so double well done to you mate. Shown them what you mean heh!

    P.S I thought that Viktor won the Australian Jivemasters. If I am correct a Brit has already won before.

    Yup

    Yup
    apparently he devastated the local talent - ie iall the invitees - teachers etc
    The judges don't release scores, so I'm not sure how you get the winning margin as "devastating"?
    Basically he done well !
    Yup.

    I quite agree.
    that's REAL freestyling, and , in my humble opinion, the true test of lead and follow ability - and interpretation.

    it's also probably been covered hundreds of times in other threads

    Anyway , well done Adam

    Errmm - actually I was referring to the fact that the local Aussies would be devastated that a Brit won this one - not referring to the scores in any way shape or form as I've got no idea!

    Just thought it would be an excellent opportunity to plug the fact that Adam won something there... and of course he will be back here at the end of the month and has already announced 2 speciality workshops that he will be teaching whilst he is here - particularly one with "Kiwi Attitude" .... whatever that is ... !

    Congratulations Adam,

    It was great to see you and your fellow Wellington NZ crowd make the trip to Aussie for the champs.

    Do we now say Adam from UK or Adam from NZ (and UK!!!)

    um, he does have a franchise I believe "down under" but that is in New Zealand, not Australia.

    As to the format, it is constantly being refined to try and ensure it is not so much "pot luck".

    In these champs people got to dance with most of the other dancers in rotation during the heats and were marked seperately for the girls and the boys.

    3 different catogories, beginner, intermediate and advanced.

    In the final each guy got to dance with every girl for about 1 minute, even if they were regular dance partners. They were judged individualy, seperate judging for the guys and the seperate judging for the girls.

    So it really does show who can freestyle at the highest level with a variety of partners.

    I'd have difficulty to belive Adam has 'relinquished' Ceroc Metro just because he moved down-under. Or am I wrong here?

    You sure are, on my planet, it takes just a day to travel around the world.

    Adam runs Ceroc Metro UK and Ceroc Wellington (not the popular rubber boot) in New Zealand.

    Sorry, read your post wrong. I thought you insinuated that Adam was no longer affiliated to UK Ceroc but you actually wrote Australia. Not sure how you read into my initial post that I was saying he had something in OZ, though. The word patriotism referred to Robin, who is working for Ceroc Metro and related to Gary's post, as quoted. So you kind of misunderstood me there.

    All cool.

    Sorry if I misunderstood.

    I do not know Robin. I do know Gary though... 3 yup's and a "The judges don't release scores, so I'm not sure how you get the winning margin as "devastating"?" - good point, we do not know the scores... (Gary knows his stuff!!!) Still, a win is a win, and that is all credit to the person who takes out first place.

    It is great that an English guy, who also is trying hard to build up classes in NZ, can take out a top award from Aussie.
