DANCE TALK
FAVOURITE DANCE: Eugen: Paso Doble & Tango | Sandra: Rumba & Waltz.
FAVOURITE COMPETITION/VENUE: Eugen: German Open Championship | Sandra: German Open Championship.
BEST MOMENT OF YOUR CAREER: The best moment(s) of our dancing career are definitely when we realised we were in the World Championship Ten-Dance Final as well as when we came into the German Open Championship Finals!.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A COMPETITION: A lot of physical practices with high intensity and with great atmosphere. Eating right so you have the best possible energy, as well as enough sleep. The day before the competition, the best thing for us is to have a day completely off, to do whatever you want. In the evening and at the competition day we like to listen to different kinds of music.
HOW TO RELAX AFTER A COMPETITION: Well, there aren't lots of relaxing haha. But when we have the opportunity, it's properly laying in bed, watching series and eating chips, candy and lots chocolate:-)
MOST RESPECTED OPPONENT COUPLE: The most respected opponent couples are all of youth couples around the world, because you need to respect all the other dancers! But the only competitor is ourselves!
ADVICE FOR ANY YOUNG DANCER READING THIS: Figure out what you want in your life, and put everything you have into it, if that is what you are willing to do! It's either 100% or nothing if you want to achieve something in life! Work hard and have fun with it! Believe in yourself!.
DANCE WORLD ICON/INSPIRATION: Eugen: Peter Stokkebroe | Sandra: Kristina Stokkebroe, Nina Bezzubova & Kristina Moshenskaya.
