March 7, 2025, Gdańsk

This past weekend, the Sport’s Centre of Gdańsk Medical University reverberated with rhythm, precision, and sheer brilliance! Marceli Józefowicz and Julia Kawa, one of Poland’s most dynamic dance duos, triumphantly defended their title as Vice-Champions of Poland in the 10-Dance Combination! Their electrifying performance highlighted not only their technical mastery but also the artistic synergy that continues to mesmerize audiences nationwide.

Triumph in Gdańsk: Grace Meets Grit

Under the spotlight of the packed arena, the duo delivered a breathtaking showcase across all ten dances, seamlessly blending the sophistication of Standard ballroom with the explosive energy of Latin styles. Their foxtrot exuded playful precision, while their cha-cha sizzled with sharp, synchronized flair—earning rave reviews from judges for creativity and emotional depth. This back-to-back podium finish cements their reputation as rising stars of Poland’s dance scene.

Rising Through European Ranks

2024 was a landmark year for the pair. In a stunning debut, they became finalists at the European Youth 10-Dance Championships in October 2024, competing as first-year Youth category dancers. Just two months later, they advanced to the semifinals of the European Championships in Riga, Latvia, holding their own against seasoned rivals. These milestones underscore their rapid ascent in the sport.
“Competing in Europe as first-years was daunting, but it pushed us to grow faster. Every round taught us to trust our training and each other,” shares Julia.

Elite Coaching, Local Roots

Their meteoric rise is fueled by a powerhouse coaching team. Internationally acclaimed mentors Antoni Czyżyk, Pietro Braga and Karina Rubio infuse their routines with world-class technique and innovation. Meanwhile, local coaches Mateusz Czyżyk and Anna Czyżyk provide unwavering support, honing their physical stamina and mental resilience. This dual approach ensures the pair thrives both on and off the floor.

Onward to New Challenges!

With no time to rest, Marceli and Julia are charging into a packed 2025 season:

• Polish National Championships (Standard & Latin) in Wrocław, March 22–23
• European Youth Latin Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, April 26
• European Youth 10-Dance Championships in Chișinău, Moldova, May 3

“This year is about proving ourselves again—on home soil and across Europe. We’re hungry for more,” declares Marceli.
