Eurovision Dance Contest trophy holders Finland have decided their competing couple for this year's EDC to be held in Glasgow (United Kingdom). Their names are Maria Lund and Mikko Ahti.
After Finland's win last year with Katja Koukkula and Jussi Väänänen, the Nordic country will try to repeat victory on September 6th in Glasgow with Maria Lund and Mikko Ahti, winning couple of Tanssii tähtien kanssa (Dances with stars) competition.
Maria Lund will not be strange to the Eurovision world, since her mother, Tamara Lund, participated at the Finnish national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest Euroviisut back in the 1960s. Maria also has participated in several musical theatre plays such as West side story, Madamme Butterfly or My fair lady, as well as recorded two jazz music albums.
Mikko Ahti is a professional dancer. He has competed at several dance contests representing Finland. He used to dance together with Carina Riikonen, but the couple ended in 2003.
