Last night at the Royal Albert Hall, Michael Malitowski and Joanna
Leunis, dancing for Poland, became the 53rd International Professional
Latin Champions.

The International is probably the most prestigous ballroom and Latin
dance competition in the world.

Michael and Joanna were as well received by the audience as by the judges.
