the Team at The Anne-Frank-gymnasium has rocked back to Germany. The Federal competition “Dancing in school”, Kreuznach was held this year for the third time, this Time in the bathroom.

Erding – a Total of 48 Teams from seven Federal States competed against each other. Including the Erdinger Rock’n’Roller, the repeated as in the previous year, silver. It almost would have been enough for the victory.

it started already at half past five in the morning with the Bus to be on time, at half past Eleven in Bad Kreuznach. Monika Ross and Miriam Angermair, a former student of the AFG and a dancer, accompanied the young athletes in the 7. and 8. Classes. Arrived at its destination, it was the same. The dancers showed in the preliminaries of the age group II/III (7. to 9. Classes), what’s in them. “It went very well,” said Ross. “The acrobatic Exercises should be as synchronous as possible. This is not easy,” said the retired teacher, “but you have it all worked out perfectly.”

For the 16 girls and four boys had to work hard. Because none of them is dancing in a club, they meet every Friday afternoon with their trainers, to be able to practice together. But the young dancers go even a step further, reveals Ross. “You have a date in the Easter holidays to be able to train together,” she says and adds that they plan to meet in the competition of the time even on Sunday, in order to improve the learned choreography.

This discipline also reflects the success of the team. Because before the Federal competition, it was only to beat the competition in the district and eventually in the country a decision. Now in the final, the students gave everything. However, the opposing teams were strong. As the counterparty to out run that landed in the previous year, just ahead of the Erdingern to square one. However, the chances were not bad that would change the heuer, for in the country’s decision to run was located behind Erding.

The Rock’n’Roll dancers of AFG gifts in the final a choreography for “Burlesque” to the best of the group of Christoph-Treu-gymnasium, Lauf dances to a Medley of Latin. At the time of rating announcement, the tension among the participants was clearly noticeable. And it was just: Four of the seven judges, the team from run found better, three out of Erding.

Initially, the disappointment was great, because so close to the first German champion title, it was never been. “Nevertheless, this was an outstanding performance,” said Ross. “Finally, you must also include the nervousness in front of such a large presence with.” Soon, the plans for next year have been forged, if it is then maybe at the very top of the podium.
