Live from the Municipal Sports Hall ... 07/04/2012

The World Seniro II went underway early today at the Salou Sports Hall. The organisers had to make a 10:00 call for round one to accommodate the more than 160 couples dancing for the title today.

Helmut Roland was here at this ungodly too to take photographs. Here are some of them.

Arrived in Cambrils! 06/04/2012

Cambrils The WDSF Communications team has arrived in Salou and is in the process of setting up for tomorrow's operations from the venue. These will start in the early afternoon with interviews, first impressions, etc.

We should be able to publish the schedule for the live webcasts of the 2012 World Senior II Standard and generally inform visitors about our plans for the live and nearly real-time coverage over the next two days.

And for everyone sitting in the rain and cold somewhere up north, we add a photograph taken earlier today of the hard life at the Golden Coast in Spain.

The Line of Succession 06/04/2012

Zoran Plohl - Tatsiana Lahvinovich, CRO © Rachida The title of European Champion Latin will go to a new couple this year. To whom? Well, there are quite a few lining up in Cambrils this weekend. One way of trying to narrow the field would be to look back at the 2011 European in Marseille, FRA. Just over one year ago, a WDSF Communications team covered the memorable competition with the first ever "Live from ..." blog hosted on this website. And it is still here!

After their wins at the European and the World Latin, Zoran Plohl and Tatsiana Lahvinovich, CRO, made an official announcement on 10 December 2011 that they would continue their career in the WDSF Professional Division.
