Favorite AM dancesport competitors?

[elisedance]

Who are yours?  Not just the top of the field (but I don't mean to exclude) Who do you like to watch the most?  Don't forget to mention the style (latin, new wave, smooth etc) and group (adult senior, masters etc)...

I just have to mention Anton Belyayev & Antoaneta Popova the new canadian Amateur Standard and Amateur Latin dancesport champions (as of last weekend).  You can see their profile, results, photos etc at:

used to be bosco/Pitton, but now they turned pro;) so I like the Italian couple who won blackpool this year - her name is Sara.

just saw them compete - I think they came third or fourth (there were no programs left so my notes went onto a borrowed one )

This is interesting Davide Tonizzo & Emily Reilly are one of the top amateur couples in Australia (currently third, according to DSI).  Well, Davide's brother Richard with his partner Claire Hanson are the top (score) ranking amateur couple in Canada.  Not only that but Emily used to be Richards partner before Claire.  

All in the family
