From July 3 to 12, the Dance World Cup Finals 2025 took place in Burgos, Spain – one of the largest dance events in the world. Among the competitors was Olivia Lienbacher from Bürmoos, representing the Showdance team of TGUS – and she brought home two world championship titles!

The Dance World Cup is considered one of the most prestigious dance competitions globally. More than 50,000 dancers competed in national qualifiers across six continents. Only those who reached a specific score and ranked among the top 5 nationally earned a spot in the finals. In Burgos, over 8,500 qualified dancers from 51 nations competed for world championship titles – making it a true global showcase of dance excellence.

Two Gold Medals – and a Life Dedicated to Dance

Olivia Lienbacher is a student at the Salzburger Sportmodell (SSM) and trains up to 25 hours per week. She has dedicated her life with full passion to dance. In addition to her own performances, she is already stepping into choreography: in 2025, she choreographed a jazz solo for fellow dancer Christina Jurisic, which won 1st place in the B-League at the DanceStar competition.

Olivia’s results at the Dance World Cup Finals 2025 in Burgos speak for themselves:

• 🥇 1st place in Lyrical Solo Junior 1 – World Champion

• 🥇 1st place in Jazz Solo Junior 1 – World Champion

• 🏅 4th place in Contemporary Solo Junior 1

• 🎭 6th place in Show Stopper Solo Junior 1

A special honor: Olivia was invited to the Grand Final with her lyrical solo – an exclusive performance round for the best of all disciplines starting from Junior 1.

Next Goal: Dance World Cup 2026 in Dublin

After this sensational year, Olivia already has her sights set on the next big goal: the Dance World Cup Finals 2026 in Dublin, Ireland. Her dream: to once again compete at the highest level for Austria and the TGUS Showdance team.
