The 2009 Asian Open Latin Championship brings six professional finalists into view across all five International Latin dances. Filmed at Budokan in Tokyo, the programme covers Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive. Michael Malitowski and Joanna Leunis and Riccardo Cocchi and Yulia Zagoruychenko are among the partnerships featured in this competition recording.
Full-dance coverage is one of the production’s distinctive features. The original filming used seven cameras, and the programme features six finalist partnerships. Sustained performances give viewers time to observe how each couple develops its dancing through a complete dance, rather than only through a short collection of highlights. The varied Latin programme also lets enthusiasts follow the same featured dancers across different rhythms and dance characters.
The remaining finalists are Sergey Surkov and Melia, Franco Formica and Oxana Lebedew, Peter Stokkebroe and Kristina Juel-Stokkebroe, and Maurizio Vescovo and Melinda Torokgyorgy. Together, the named partnerships give the collection a clear identity for readers choosing a historical professional Latin event to watch.
With Japanese and English commentary and an approximate running time of 100 minutes, the recording is intended for competition viewing and observation. Its MP4 Video format does not promise the interactive CoupleCam controls of the original disc. The complete finalist programme below preserves all six original entries and their sequence.
