6th HKBDFI Cup
6th HKBDFI Cup
The BDFI International Director & Hong Kong Ballroom Dancers International (HKBDI) President, Mr Lawrence Chan, has been organising and assisting over 70 days of Ballroom & Latin-American competitions since his first competition on 11th April 1993 (1st Come Dancing Cup). The 6th HKBDFI Cup on 9th April 2017 was a memorable, special and unique moment for him as it was the first time he organised a competition on his birthday!
100 solo dancers and 84 couples had entered on this day. This was exactly half of the overflowing entries to 18th Best of Best HK Open DanceSport Championships organized by Lawrence on 25/12/16, alleviating Lawrence’s pressure of timing the events in a smaller venue at Hotel Regal Riverside Ballroom. He felt blessed and delighted with the spectacle of quality dancing on his special day.
Three best of best Pro-Am couples in Hong Kong – Qing Shui & Angel Kwok, Yu Lan & Amanda Lau, Lau Suk Yee & Chen LingJun, danced a Waltz tune of “Happy Birthday” to create celebration mood and electric atmosphere during the evening dinner party, on top of the three Grand Finals – Open Professional Latin, Open Amateur Latin & Open Professional Standard, and some ceremony of HKBDI. The 7th HKBDFI Cup will be held on 1st April 2018.
