Choreographers on Pop TV in Slovenia

Ljubljana, Slovenia

Giancarlo & Masha had the honour to choreograph the group dance for the grand finale of the popular TV show "Popolna Poroka" (Perfect Wedding) on Slovenian TV channel POP TV.

The show which features couples competing for a grand prize of an all expensed paid wedding at a premier location and venue, wedding bands and a honeymoon in the Maldives and Dubai. As it is a reality show, the couples went through a number of challenges, dancing being one of them, on live television in order to accumulate points from the judges and votes from the viewers. The show became the 2nd most viewed tv show on Slovenian television this season and ran from February to May 2015.

For the grand finale, the inhouse choreographers of the show Plesno Mesto (Dance City) Studios wanted to do something different for the remaining three final couples. They approached Giancarlo & Masha as they realized their extensive experience with choreography and television appearances. As with all television shows, time is extremely limited and the couples needed to look fabulous within a few days to wow a live audience! Giancarlo & Masha chose the hit song "Bailando" by Enrique Iglesias for the group dance.

Leading up to the final show, Slovenian news site 24ur featured one of the rehearsal the couples had with Giancarlo and Masha. (note this site is in Slovenian language, for a Google translated English version please click here).

Although the dancers had no experience what so ever with salsa dancing and the only dance experience they did have was from dancing on the show, they managed to pick up the choreography Giancarlo Masha prepared for them and looked fabulous on the night. Just what the producers wanted for the big finale.

We would like to thank Marko Hren and Anita Vihtelic, directors of Plesno Mesto for the opportunity and believing in us to step up to the plate and deliver for this fun and exciting project.
