Heidi Estler greeted the audience at the Beethovensaal together with mayor for sports Dr. Martin Schairer.

It became quite festive at the first evening of the GOC. Shortly before 8 p.m. Heidi Eslter, president of Tanzsport Deutschland, opened the 32nd German Open Championships, which is now taking place in Stuttgart for the 15th time. GOC has a high value for the city as well as for Baden-Württemberg. Dr. Martin Schairer, mayor for security, order, and sports, didn't hesitate to welcome the guests at the Beethovensaal. 

Flanked by the German and Stuttgart's flag German champions in Junior I Latin Elias Nazarenus/Angelina Weber danced samba and cha-cha-ha, before the German national anthem ended the formal opening ceremony.
