The 2013 WDSF GrandSlam Latin went underway earlier this morning with the first group of 161 couples dancing round one. In the early afternoon a second group of 143 couples danced their first round. And by now, at just before 5 p.m., the second round is in full swing.
41 couples have been able to benefit from their star ratings and will only now or in round three join in the action.
345 couples dancing this GrandSlam leg tops last year's record participation (315).
The World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. – Lufthansa Group. The agreement aims to make the lowest airfares to Swiss and Lufthansa Group destinations available to the international DanceSport community.
Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. and Lufthansa Group offer a comprehensive route network linking major cities around the world. By booking flights with Swiss or any of the other airlines belonging to the Lufthansa Group through a dedicated online platform, the individual member of international DanceSport community will be able to benefit from substantially discounted fares and other privileges.
