It is with such sadness that we say goodbye to the World Professional Ballroom Champions Domen Krapez and Natascha Karabey as they retire from competitive dancing …
Dear Friends, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
It was such a special moment for Natascha and myself and we are still trying to process all the emotions!
We feel so grateful, honoured and humbled!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who sent us messages, gifts, flowers and who was there for us during our special moment.
We are completely overwelmend by all your support, attention and love!
We finished our competitive career but the most satisfying feeling is that we have made so many friends along the way.
We would like to thank the Short family for giving us a special honour and possibility to retire during the International Championshis in the Royal Albert Hall.
We are now very much looking forward with excitement to new challenges to pass on our knowledge and experience to new generations and remain very much part of the dancing world through demonstrating, lecturing, teaching, organising and adjudicating.
With love and gratitude
Domen & Natascha
World, European, British Open, International, UK open Professional Champions
When it comes to Dancesport couture, Natascha’s style has always stood out from the crowd. Each piece is bold, fearless, and utterly breathtaking. Natascha was never afraid to try something new, creating innovative, eye-catching looks that set trends across the industry and completely dazzled on the dancefloor...

Every couture piece that was created for Natascha enhanced the effect on the floor in a refreshingly modern way, tying together vivid colours, flattering silhouettes and of course, the stunning Swarovski® embellishment that defines each of her designs. Each piece was completely different but no less stunning, whether it was bold geometric shapes, head to toe sparkle or all the colours of the rainbow shaded to perfection, each dress was elevated by her confident approach to style.

Pleated fabric on my dresses has become a signature look for me, it is a gorgeous look and creates so much drama.’ Natascha Karabey
