From Court To Floor ... 21/05/2011

Sparta Luxembourg In the title, we are not alluding to former International Monetary Fund leader Strauss-Kahn's transfer from jail to a Manhattan apartment, we only point out that a league play-off basketball game was played at the Atert Centre last night. After midnight the organisers started to completely change the configuration of the modern venue. Tables around the floor, additional lighting, new sponsor signage ... Well, not all of it. Last night's sponsors are still on the floor. 

Overnight Inflation! 21/05/2011

Just hours after putting up the post "29 Couples, 14 Nations!" with the list of entries in the 2011IDSF World Latin, the tally needed readjusting. 15 Nations are represented here in Luxembourg, and IDSF Communications has it from the best source possible!

Hello!
Congratulations on the website. We are very excited to be in Luxembourg for the World Championships, but we are representing NEW ZEALAND, NOT ITALY; so there are 15 nations now represented!
Yours sincerely,
Stefan Green and Adriana Sigona

 

 We stand corrected and welcome Stefan and Adriana as Kiwis! The list below is now amneded!

29 Couples, 14 Nations! ... 15 20/05/2011

Here are the 29 couples who have entered the 2011 IDSF PD World DanceSport Championship Latin in Luxembourg. They represent 14 nations, with the strongest contingents coming from Russia and Italy.

DSFL Anniversary - IDSF PD World Latin 17/05/2011

IDSF PD World Latin On Saturday 21 May, the DanceSport Federation Luxembourg celebrates its 50th Anniversary with a spectacular DanceSport Festival in Bertrange, just a few kilometers west of Luxembourg City. The highlight of the festival will be the IDSF PD World DanceSport Championship Latin.

The first World Latin to be held under the auspices of the newly established IDSF PD, it brings upwards of 30 top couples to the Atert Sports Centre. Among them Alexey Silde and Anna Firstova, RUS, who have turned pro at the beginning of the year!

Another couple standing poised to excel on Saturday: Guy Rosen and Anastasija Gorbachenko, the Professional Latin Champions of Luxembourg (left).

IDSF Communications will report on how they and the other couples fare through this blog. The blogging starts with interviews of some of the couples in Luxembourg from late Friday, early Saturday, and gets into full swing with the first round at 15:30 CEST.

IDSF Communications and ATA Productions produced comprehensive coverage on last year's Professional World Latin in Sitges, Spain, already. Check it out, all 52 minutes of it!
