” The winner of the Small Group was an absolutely awesome routine, danced by five Canadian young men, entitled " Five Guys Named Mo ." Runner up was the M-Team from Heidelberg.
Vice Champions in the duo division were quite unique because of their performance to live music. The group was called; Marianne's Team from Heidelberg , and the choreographer, Marianne Heinrich.
The winner of the Formation division was, for the third time, the Gloria Jean Dancers , which was choreographed by Gloria Jean and Rennie Gold . Upon arriving back home in Connecticut, the Team was met with a police escort and taken through the streets of North Haven in a victory parade. They were also invited to the White House by Bill Clinton and were performing guests on three major national television shows. Gloria Jean has won three World Championships and two Vice Championships with her formation. An enviable achievement, indeed ” . 29
