Brno – The World Championship of Latin American Dances, which will take place on October 18, 2025, at Brno's Starez Aréna, promises an exceptional experience not only for sports dance fans.
Three winners of the popular TV show "StarDance" will meet in one place to celebrate the beauty of Latin dance together. In addition to top competition performances, the audience can look forward to exclusive performances, hosting by well-known personalities, and a rich accompanying program.
Veronika Lálová: Brazilian Samba
The highlight of the evening will be the performance by Veronika Lálová, who captivated audiences and the jury in 2016 and won the 7th season of StarDance with Zdeněk Piškula.
Veronika will dance the iconic Brazilian samba at the World Championships.
„Dancing with Zdeněk Piškula was one of the greatest experiences of my career, and when the offer came to dance my beloved samba at the World Championships, I didn't hesitate for a minute,“ says Veronika Lálová, who has been a professional dancer, choreographer, and judge since StarDance.
