My partner Hatta, our coach, and I had our eyes on the crown for some time, and I am full of emotions as we finally captured victory. In these championships Tokyo Tech was also fourth in the group category. We have made an excellent start as a team in 2016.
The Tokyo Tech Ballroom Dance Club will spare no effort as we head towards the next East Japan Collegiate DanceSport Championships. We appreciate your continued support for the club.
