George and Wendy Pytlik have been married for more than 30 years and enjoyed a competitive run that spanned more than 10 years.
They were undefeated BC Latin champions in the 35+ age category for seven consecutive years. They finished 3rd in the Canadian Championships in their age category multiple times, including in the challenging Ten-Dance genre that involves competing in all five Standard, or Ballroom dances and in all five competitive Latin dances. They were two-time SnowBall Classic Latin champions in their age group and finished 27th in the world in the 2010 Senior 1 World Championship Ten Dance competition.
They retired from competition in November 2012 after Wendy suffered a critical injury during a competition. In November 2013, after learning that the Grand Ballroom was closing down, thus spelling the end of the Grand Ball, they came out of retirement to dance one more Latin competition together, which they won.
George has been certified to teach by the Canadian DanceSport Federation, the governing body for ballroom dance teaching in Canada, in both Latin and Ballroom genres. Wendy has been certified in Latin. Meet George | Meet Wendy
