Kuala Lumpur, March 11: ASIANS have taken to the
Vienna waltzes and Latin American samba in substantial
numbers and masterly grades sufficient to wow the
mainly Malaysian 2000-strong audience last Sunday
night. Of course, there were large groups of guests
from foreign countries -- either as particpants or
their supporters cheering them on, and a fair mix of
judges of the
MALAYSIA ASIAN OPEN DANCE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2008 6th Leg
Asian Open Dance Tour 2008 at the Shangri-la Grand
Ballroom on Sunday (March 9) night.


Semi-finalists plus finalists competing in several
categories divided broadly into Amateur and
Professional classes enthralled the audience with the
well-known ballroom depicted on the big screen in
movies such as award-winning "Gone With The Wind" and
......(You fill in the blanks, Desi's Place ispretty and democratic, YES!:)


Couples numbering usually 12 in qualifying rounds
twirled and swirled to the music/songs like Blue Moon,
Jailhouse Rock that induced much nostalgia to waltzing
in the moonlight, or red-blooded jiving with your
mate. The competitors gave their all to charm the
professional adjudicators from various countries.


Several couples were so absorbed enjoying the dance
with their partner it seemed another world of
executing their renditions of the fox-trot, cha-cha,
rumba and quickstep that truly entertained the
audience.

Malaysians are familiar watching the celluloid
versions of redhot, sexual and exotic samba and
tango,often associated with the fun-loving redhot
blooded Latin American people. Malaysians seem to have
taken an upgrade step with such international exposure
-- and the audience applauded with gusto the champion
couple doing an "encore". there were the occasional
wolf whistles -- an "unusual", maybe unique? way -- of
showering praises and appreciation.

Dance is a universal medium that crosses geographic
and racial boundaries, also age and gender, so said
the organising chairperson, John Lim. So it was not a
surprise that the paying viewers came from all ethnic
backgrounds, ranging in age from granddad/ma to little
children doted by Daddy/Mum who wished their younger
set would be motivated to step into the finer pursuits
in life other than the populist Internet war-games or
Futsal!

Earlier in the day before the gala dinner, the
preliminary rounds were held featuring a record
number -- 800 competitors -- of the world’s top
ranking Standard & Latin Professional Dancers from
England, USA, France, Poland, Ukraine, Italy, Germany,
Russia, Australia, China, Japan, Korea, Chinese
Taipei, Macao, Hong Kong, Singapore and host Malaysia.

The event, organised by PROFESSIONAL DANCERS (M)
BERHAD, was generously sponsored by corporates at
RM3,000 to RM5,000 per table, as it was also an effort
to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Disease Foundation
Malaysia. According to co-chairperson, Josephine Seow,
the championship sanctioned by the World Dance
Council, managed to raise some RM......(I'm awaiting the audited figure:)
The totalprize money was USD100,000, a record-setting
quantum in Malaysia for this type of dance contest.
