This stunning couple made top 24 at the 2019 Blackpool Dance Festival earlier this year.
Congratulations Annalisa Zoanetti and Sigurdur Thor Sigurdsson
Annalisa and Sigurdur had a very successful 11-week European tour, dancing among the world’s best Professional Latin couples.
Their combined achievements come from a remarkable amount of training, dedication, and sustained energy.
In striving for excellence, they achieved further success with:
- A win at the Stars of the Future, Brentwood
- Fourth in the Professional WDC German Open Championship
- Second at the Festival Danza Cervia
Annalisa expressed
"There are no words to describe that feeling. In the magical Winter Gardens, Blackpool, surrounded by the best of the best! Then your number 264 is called onto the floor in the Top 24 couples in the world! It still hasn't sunk in but the feeling is euphoric! Speechless! To all Australians and Icelanders who cheered us on. You kept us going. We feel very lucky to have two amazing countries supporting us."
Siggy's thoughts
"Feeling truly blessed! I think this is long overdue. I dedicate this to my amazing dance partner Annalisa to the lengths you have gone, and told me everything is going to be alright. How on earth have you stuck by me?"
I am truly blessed with a lot of things. Amazing support from family and friends - unconditional which is very rare to find. For that I am grateful and truly lucky."
But to find a crazy Australian I can call my sister and best friend and dance partner is like finding a needle in a haystack! So this one's for you Annalisa. Love you sister and thank you for believing in my stupid ways."
We are very fortunate to have these two fabulous dancers, and wonderful people in Adelaide.
Say hello
To anyone who has not spoken to them, we encourage you to walk up and say ‘hello’. Anna and Siggy will give everyone their total attention; you will immediately feel their complete sincerity and enthusiasm as they engage with you.
We wish best of luck to Annalisa and Sigurdur for future competitions.
