Lavinia and Amer with their first place Trophy at Brazilian Beat 2012

Not all dance couples survive the stress of dancing together, but this couple is one that thrives! Lavinia Maria and Amer Farroukh were one of the first couples in Toronto to take up Zouk dancing at Mazouka Dance just over a year ago.  Last night they pulled off an amazing routine that they choreographed themselves to take home $500 for winning the Amateur Division of the Zouk Competition of Brazil Dance World’s Brazilian Beat Dance Congress.

Will Slavic and Anna be as successful in their quest to reach the top? Tonight is the Canadian Premier of the film “Ballroom Dancer” at the Isabel Bader Theatre.  A must-see for anyone involved in partner dancing!
