Burgas mayor Dimitar Nikolov has met ballroom dancers from Burgas clubs and their coaches, Burgas council said. The dancers are from the Bulgarian Federation of Dance Sport.

Deputy mayor Manol Todorov and Veselina Devedzhieva, head of the sport department, were with him.

Kristian Donchev and Martina Kondakieva of the Burgas 1975 dance sport club are world champions in the 10 dances. The pair also won two bronze medals at world championships, in standard and in Latin dances.

In the under-21 category, Artur Vlasenko and Ivelina Karcheva of the Burgas dance sport club won bronze at both the European and world standard championships.

Earlier this year, the two clubs co-hosted the World and European standard dance championships. The two were held as one event, with the city's backing. The council says it was the first time two championships of this rank took place together, and that interest was huge.

Club chairmen Andrey Todorov and Yavor Valchev thanked the mayor for his long support and gave him a commemorative plaque. The two want to host such a strong event again.
