XS Latin’s three teams (A, B and the newly formed C team), are NOW RECRUITING enthusiastic and team-spirited new members, both men and women, aged between 15 and 40 years.

Thirty dancers from the XS Latin A, B and C teams descended on Quayside on Saturday 6th July to perform an impromptu latin-based flashmob to the delight of the crowds of onlookers!

XS Latin’s A and B Teams travelled to Greenford Hall in London on the 30th June to take part in the UK Adult Formation Championships. Both teams were excited, if a little sad, to take part in the final competition of the 2013 Spring/Summer season.

The British Open Latin Formation Championship 2013 was held on 31st May in Blackpool, less than two weeks after both the XS Latin A and B teams returned from competing at the WDSF European Latin Formation Championships in Lithuania. With four XS couples also competing earlier in the week in the individual Amateur events at Blackpool (27th and 29th May), this meant that there was very little rehearsal time available to the teams between the two competitions!

On May 18th, XS Latin A and B teams both competed at the WDSF European Latin Formation Championships 2013, held in Vilnius.

Undeterred by the snowy weather, over 40 dancers attended the XS 2013 casting session held on Monday 14th January at Milton Community Centre. Dancers ranged from complete beginners to experienced competitors, having heard about XS through the team’s latest advertising campaign, which included appearances by XS members in the local paper and on the radio.

XS Latin is NOW SEEKING new dancers of all experience levels to join them for 2013!

Both the A team (intermediate to championship level dancers) and B team (beginner to intermediate level dancers) are currently looking for enthusiastic, team-spirited new dancers.

XS Latin closed the 2012 season with both the A and B teams travelling to Vienna to participate in the annual 2012 Danube Cup. With teams from Austria, Poland, Hungary, Germany and the UK the competition promised to be an exciting end to the year.

The 2012 World Formation Championship was held in Bremen, Germany, in December.  With three of the top four ranked teams dancing new programmes, the anticipation amongst formation aficionados was great.  XS Latin drew 13th in the first round and danced their best ever performance at a World Championship, after making small changes to their Bat Out of Hell choreography.  With three recalls to the semi-final the team placed in a clear 13th position and were one recall from the team in 11th position.  This also made them the highest placed British team in the competition.

Nine teams were entered for and eight teams competed in the 2012 British National Championship, which took place in Blackpool in November.
