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.

The 2010 World Formation Championships proved to be a very exciting event. After never placing in the top 3 at a world championships, the hosts, Russia, won the gold medal. Vera, dancing Ever Shining Star, their tribute to Michael Jackson, took the top spot with a majority of second places. Zuvedra, Lithuania, danced a beautiful final to take the silver medal, while the title holders, GGC Bremen, debuted their new routine, Genesis, to take the bronze.

XS travelled to Bremen, Germany to represent England at the IDSF 2009 Latin Formation World Championships, and were very pleased to get 13th out of 19 teams from around the world. The local team won the day, with the team from Lithuania a close second.

The hotly anticipated 2008 World Latin Formation Championships did not disappoint! 22 Teams from around the world descended on Wiener Neustadt, Austria, to compete for the title. With the standard across all teams higher than ever, XS Latin were thrilled to receive two recalls to the semi-final, placing them 14th overall.

XS travelled to Bremerhaven this weekend for the 2007 Latin Formation Dance World Championships. The level of competition was very high and XS was very pleased to be placed 15th out of 22.
The two German teams — the hosts, Bremerhaven, and last year’s champions, Bremen — tied for first place, while the Lithuanians were placed third.
