I regret I didnt see this contest!!!
I found Videos on YouTube from Ukraine
here they dance quickstep Thats a very funny dance, I think it has a cool style with the kicking like that
Here they dance another dance Im not clear what kind of dance this is but they mention "Paso doble" and thats fully possible but then with a very ukrainian touch on it. Very cool, love the music!
The other countries can also be found on YouTube!
