Van den Bergh on meaning of walk-on dance: "It's just a bit of relaxation"

Dimitri van den Bergh has now moved up to fifth place in the PDC Order of Merit. The Belgian ace will next have his eyes on impressing at the World Cup of Darts once more next month.

Van den Bergh brings a lot to the oche including his walk on dance and he discussed the meaning behind that.

"The dance is just a bit of a show element before I play my games and for me it helps because every time that I'm going on stage I do a little dance to compose myself because I know that it's going to be very important, every game I play on stage in front of a camera it's very important, it's a life changer factor so it's just a bit of relaxation," he said on the Not So Late Night Darts Show.

Like alluded to, one of his main goals will be in Jena, Germany from 9-12 September when he will once again represent Belgium with Kim Huybrechts.

"Definitely when it comes to our country, our nation. We want to make Belgium proud, we want to lift the trophy.

"For some reason it hasn't happened yet but we have a new year, new tournament, a new start. We've got to obviously focus on the first round and work our way up but it's definitely one of our dreams."
