The results of the competition on 28th of November 2015 in Hamburg are now online on the page of Club Saltatio. In addition there is a nice article about the competition (in German only).
Hopefully the Club Saltatio will have a third edition of the Equality Trophy next year.
The first “serious” same-sex dance sequence of Standard Formation Dance was performed at the European Championships 2015 in Poland by the Dutch team DSV Dance Impression. Watch the video at approx 2:40min on youtube.
