Tilburg Moves

"Tilburg Moves" is a large-scale event in the Netherlands including many IDSF tournaments. Of course, due to the geographical proximity many German couples took the chance to participate.

Day 1:
Georg Bröker/Susanne Schantora as well as Robert and Silvia Soencksen dominated the Senior II Latin tournament, finishing first and second (see picture).

Georg Bröker/Susanne Schantora also participated in the Senior I section, winning for the second time in one day. Markus and Stephanie Grebe took the fourth place.

The Senior III Standard tournament was the biggest of the day (56 couples). Franz-Josef and Lioba Kirchhoff won the bronze medal, Hans-Arnold and Heidi Büscher reached the fifth place. Half of the semi final consisted of German couples. Apart from the two finalists, these were:
