Not To Be Missed

We had us two memorable GrandSlam Finals in Shanghai over the weekend. The very best of both, by far, was the dancing: altogether 26 couples (including the two Chinese wildcards) outdid themselves on the floor.

As you will have read in some of the earlier posts, at times, these couples were surrounded by imperfection and victimised by the Law of Murphy, but they just kept on dancing ... Never mind the blank LED screens and the lack of essential competition information!

It was almost like in the old days: everybody left in the dark until the last couple had completed the last dance of the final and the compère called out their numbers and names from sixth place to first.

The semi-final and the final in Latin and Standard will now get edited into two 90-minute Vimeo on Demand programme where everything will look the way it should have played out to the audiences at the Luwan Stadium. Individual scores after the first and last solos, standings after each dance, etc.

Don't miss them! For the excellence of the dancing, for the drama of the competition and for the innovation in some of the dresses (see left) ...

The programmes will be available just prior to the holidays - on 22 and 23 December - for US$ 3.75 each (3-month streaming period).
