A huge congratulations goes to our Sponsored dancer Petra Zimmermann and her partner Caroline Privou for becoming the Same Sex Female Ballroom World Champions!
‘We are Same Sex Female Ballroom World Champions!
It was and still is an amazing journey in a four-year cycle from our first Gay Games Gold Medal 2006 in Chicago to the Gay Games Gold medals we obtained 2010 in our home town Cologne and 2014 in Cleveland and now it is 2018 and we still relive the moment we were rewarded with our fourth Gay Games gold medal! and ninth World Champions titlle in a row (including two Senior titles).
We could not be more grateful and want to thank our team of family, friends and teachers who have always and ever unconditionally supported and believed in us whatever we deceided and wherever we competed and without whom nothing of this would have been possible! You have inspired and guided us and made us stronger and better! A special thanks also goes to all the ladies with whom we shared the floor and the dedication for same-sex dance!’ Caroline Privou

How long have you been sponsored by CHRISANNE CLOVER?
Our partnership with Chrisanne Clover started in the beginning of 2014
Why do you love being sponsored by CHRISANNE CLOVER?
Chrisanne Clover has an amazing history of sponsoring a lot of world famous ballroom couples and make them look very special on the floor. Chrisanne Clover most often is one step ahead in the design of dresses and the fabrics they use and they have created a very own style that perfectly matches our own ideas and our personalities. We thus feel very honoured to be chosen by the Chrisanne Clover family as a representative.
What designs and styles do you look for in a CHRISANNE CLOVER Couture?
We prefer dress designs that perfectly outline the body shapes, highlight femine features and underline the elegance of ballroom dancing and we, too, love to sparkle on the floor!
What colours are you most attracted to?
Black and White is our favorite colour and actually our nickname in the dancing scene is 'Black and White' referring to our hair colour which is highlighted perfectly by our CHRISANNE CLOVER dresses where the majority have been designed in an elegant black and white mix.
