However, there seems to have been a confusion (at least I seem to have gotten it wrong) with the results of the NZ People's Choice Award.
Hinga & Annysha who although got 2nd place in the Beginner Division
DID after all receive the 2009 NZ People's Choice Award for that division! All the Latinissimo dancers must have been so overwhelmed by the results on the night that we completely missed this and were not sure if they did receive this award or not! We decided to wait and see what the official website would post, and they did...
Therefor the final result for Latinissimo is as follow (according to the official website):
*
Champions - 2009 NZ Salsa Open/Pro Division (Giancarlo & Masha)
*
