A Special Anniversary for Aerjen & Monique
from the Netherlands
In every country there is a special, though maybe seemingly unusual, custom. In
most countries, people celebrate jubilees on their 10th, 20th, even 25th
anniversaries. In Holland, maybe because of their famous parties (like Assen),
they also celebrate their 12.5th anniversary!
This October, the Dutch couple Aerjen Mooijweer & Monique Broekmeulen will
celebrate 12.5 years together as a dance couple. And because this is especially
unique in the dancing world - where people changes partners like they would
changing clothes in a shop - Dancesportinfo wants to congratulate Aerjen &
Monique for this very special occasion!
But for everybody else, who are they?

Except
for their 12.5th anniversary, this year Aerjen & Monique won their 10th
National title and represented Holland in all disciplines (see their results
page). They are the current Dutch champions in Ballroom and 10 Dance, and were
semi-finalists in last year�s 10-dance World championship in Canada.
They are both very spontaneous and sporting, and do as much as possible for
dancing. Real ambassadors, and should be proud of it!
Aerjen
& Monique represented Holland at the Amateur Latin World Championships
on the 9th of October in Leipzig, Germany and celebrated their anniversary with
their Dutch friends and family there.
On the 16th of October they will be in Moldavia to dance the European 10 Dance
Championships and in the end of this month they will be Dutch
representatives in the Amateur Standard at the World Standard Championships in
Vilnius, Lithuania. A very busy life which is not possible without support of
their parents, friends and their bosses.
We hope they will reach their 20th; of course with good results!
