Steven Fenech and Mandy Ghio, recently represented Malta in the European Wheelchair Standard & Latin American Championships which were held in Warsaw, Poland.

Only the top three couples from each European country are allowed to participate, making the competitions extremely hard. With a start list of 21 couples, Steve & Mandy obtained excellent results reaching the final of the Standard Championship and were placed 6th. In the Latin American Championship they were placed 8th.

The MWDA would like to thank their sponsors for helping Steve & Mandy represent Malta in the European Championships, International Dance Shoes UK, Lufhansa Airlines, Phoenicia Hotel.

The association is looking for both wheelchair users who are interested in learning to dance and also in standing dancers who are interested in partnering a wheelchair dancer. For further information please visit the MWDA website: www.maltawda.com or contact the President Pippa Roberts 99864110
