The 2012 season will see XS Latin A dancing a very exciting new routine and XS Latin B building on their Cabaret programme.

Castings for both teams for the new season will take place on Monday 9th January at Milton Community Centre from 20:20 to 22:20.  Dancers aged from 15 to 40 are welcome to attend, regardless of levels of experience.  You do not need to bring a partner and you do not need to have had any previous latin formation experience to come along.  To compete with one of our teams you must not be a professional ballroom or Latin American dancer or a professionally qualified teacher of dance with one of the recognised dance teaching organisations (e.g. IDTA, ISTD, NATD etc).

If you would like to find out more or would like to join XS Latin but are unable to attend the casting session then please email sophie@xslatin.org or david@xslatin.org.

The second division had an entry of 11 teams and was XS Latin B team’s first international competition.

That there will be no Dancesport Latin Training on the 15th December as XS Latin will be travelling to Vienna very early on the 16th to compete in the annual Danube Cup. Therefore, there will be no DLT on the 15th, 22nd, or 29th December. The class will resume again on the 5th Jan.

On December 2nd 2011, XS Latin A team flew to Vilnius in Lithuania for the 2011 World Latin Formation Championships.  The anticipation for this competition had been building for several months: the host team had prepared very hard for the competition but were to face stiff competition from the 2010 World Champions, Vera, from Russia and the 2009 World Champions, GGC Bremen, who had just convincingly won the German Nationals with their new routine, Blast.
