Here is the live stream from the Crocus Expo courtesy of the Russian DanceSport Federation. The camera will be operated during the later part of the evening session and provide a wide-angle shot until then.
The stream of the semi-final and final of the GrandSlam Standard Moscow will not be blocked anywhere and is available for worldwide viewing. That's how generous we are.
But please bear in mind that the World DanceSport Federation will also offer this stage of the competition through its on-demand service DanceSport Total Plus. Obviously enhanced with additional features such as interviews, behind-the-scene coverage, etc.
A WDSF PD GrandPrix was initially scheduled for today but cancelled later. The Dance Accord organisers figured that with the Professional Division World Championship Standard in Nanjing, CHN, only six days away, the number of entries would likely be very low.
Instead they added a regular PD Open to the programme and - surprise, surprise - many of those who will dance in China next weekend showed up anyway.
Defending World Champions Mirko Gozzoli - Edita Daniute, LTU, as well as challengers Emanuel Valeri - Tania Kehlet, DEN, and Donatas Vezelis - Lina Chatkeviciute, LTU, will take to the floor when the first round starts at 18:45 local (15:45 h UTC/GMT). Maybe we'll see some otther couples too.
We have received another batch of photographs taken by Marina Melnikova during the second and third round of the 2014 GrandSlam Latin Moscow and uploaded them to the Gallery.
Today's schedule should be sensibly lighter to digest for the couples dancing the last rounds of the GrandSlam than the one yesterday.
We reported on yesterday's semi-final and final that were delayed by nearly three hours due to ... Truth is, we were never given any reasons - and at 3 a.m. we were simply too tired to ask. When we interviewed the finalist couples they made reference to the late hour, to general exhaustion, and to the fact that hardly any public was left at the Crocus Expo at that time.
The famous Moscow subway stops service at midnight. Everybody had left immediately after the semi-final to catch the last trains home.
Today's GrandSlam Latin final is scheduled at 21:00 Moscow time (18:00 UTC/GMT). And everybody hopes that it will play out in front of a huge crowd.
