In a few minutes the 70 couples entered in this 2013 World Standard will have the opportunity to warm up on the floor put in overnight at the Kiev Sports Palace.
WDSF Communications team member Helmut Roland caught a few of the couples as they were watching the other competitions in progress since 10:00 local time.
The official starting list will be published here soon.
Anton Belyayev - Antoaneta Popova, CAN, the day before the 2013 World DanceSport Championship Standard in Kiev, UKR.
Interview with Emanuel Valeri - Tania Kehlet, DEN, the day before the 2013 World DanceSport Championship Standard in Kiev, UKR.
Interview with Simone Segatori - Annette Sudol, GER, the day before the 2013 World DanceSport Championship Standard in Kiev, UKR.
The 70 couples competing in the 2013 World Standard arrived in the Ukrainian capital today. They are assigned to two championship hotels that are located in close proximity of one another and within walking distance to the venue.
The WDSF Communications team was able to interview some of them right after the checked in.
The schedule for the World Standard foresees the start of the first round at 13:30 local time on Saturday 23 November.
And yes, some poetic licence was taken in selecting the photograph above. No snow to be seen anywhere, temperatures are above 0º C - but it has been raining all day.
Bobby Baksi is the television producer in charge of bringing coverage on the 2013 World Standard in Kiev, UKR, to international audiences. WDSF Communications caught up with Bobby earlier today at the venue and asked him a few questions.
The Kiev Sports Palace is getting adapted to the requirements of a top-level DanceSport competition ahead of the 2013 World Standard on 23 November.
The Kiev Sports Palace was built in the early 1960s. Back then it was probably considered gigantic and five decades later it is still very big for an indoor sports venue. With a capacity of 10,000+!
The palace was where the Eurovision Song Contest played out before a live television audience in the high double-digit millions back in 2005.
Ever since this morning, a sizeable crew is adapting the hall to the particular needs of DanceSport. We'll keep you up to date on that.
