Austria Wins Again 24 November 2015 17:18

The last piece of music that played at the Multiversum in the late evening of Sunday 22 November was the Austrian national anthem. With the Vienna public standing tall and singing along, it honoured the new World Champions Showdance Standard in the Professional Division: Vadim Garbuzov - Kathrin Menzinger, AUT.

Cast as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey from "Fifty Shades" fame, the Austrians doubled up on the title won in Showdance Latin this June - also in Vienna - and kept their closest rivals Marco Camarlinghi - Martina Minasi, ITA, who were cast as the Emcee and Sally from Cabaret, in second place.

Seven other couples delighted the audience with their characters and performances too: a Mummy, Gomez and Morticia Addams, the Great Gatsby ... By the end of this week you will be able to watch the final free of charge through Vimeo. Stay tuned!

Two World Championships, two World Opens and an array of other competitions make the three days of top-level DanceSport at the Multiversum in Schwechat unforgettable for many. The participants as well as those who had the privilege to witness some or all of it have left Vienna with a bag of memories.

Swiss photographer Reinhard Egli, who is also the publisher of dance! magazine, sent us a collection of photographs he took of Gabriele Goffredo and Anna Matus during the World Latin. We have published them in the Photo Gallery.

More are still to come: Helmut Roland's "best of" collection with shots taken during the PD World Showdance Standard.

And let's not forget the Vimeo on Demand programme on the 2015 World Latin, the ultimate bag of memories as well as emotions!

The Sounds 22 November 2015 16:57

Casa musica

All music played during the decisive stages of major championships and other top-tier events under WDSF auspices is courtesy of the WDSF Music Partner Casa musica.

As we announced in August, WDSF makes information on the tracks played at these events available in music cue sheets and - where applicable - in the videos it publishes through YouTube and Vimeo.

WDSF has now added an "Audio Gallery" section to its website. It is still in Beta, has only been field tested yesterday, but looking at it should give you an idea where this is going. The tracks played at the WORLD Championship Latin from the round of 48 through the final are identified in this music cue list.

Extensive information on these tracks is provided already, audio samples of each track will get added in the foreseeable future.

With what was uploaded over the course of today we reach a total of 91 video clips that were produced and added to the Video Gallery above. Virtually all couples that participated in the World Latin should be able to find themselves with one or even more clips covering one of the first three rounds. All this is provided to you free of charge through our YouTube channel DanceSport Total.

Only the semi-final and final are put behind a payment wall. To watch them in full length, with elaborate graphics, looks behind the scene and interviews, you will need to rent the two-hour programme through our on-demand service DanceSport Total Plus.

2015 World Latin | Vienna, AUT

One of the highest-quality finals ever danced will be available exclusively through our payment-based video-on-demand service on VIMEO. But it's not just the final, it's the semi- and quarterfinal too! Well over two hours of top-level DanceSport are offered at an all-inclusive price of US$ 3.75 for the 90-day streaming period.

Yes, we had to adjust our rates a little due to changes in the VIMEOS sales policy: from 1 December all sales will include the value added tax where such a tax is levied. Depending on the country of purchase, that could be as little as 5% or as much as 30%.

The 90-minute programme in HD comes with full graphics but without commentary. It is made up of four parts: the full-length semi-final, interviews with the finalists, the full-length final and interviews with the medallists. A 45-minute "bonus video" covers the quarterfinal. Pre-order yours here!

Born To Win 22 November 2015 10:51

Gabriele Goffredo - Anna Matus, MDA © Roland

We mentioned it after his GrandSlam victory in Hong Kong this June, Gabriele Goffredo's life motto is "Nato per Vincere." After last night it could take on an even more career-related meaning, but Gabriele insists that it applies to much more than just sports, results or similar.

On the WDSF Facebook page we have published an album with more photos taken by Helmut Roland right after Gabriele and Anna were declared Champions last night. View it here!

Gabriele's favourite football team, Juventus Turin, won against AC Milan in the Italian A Series last night too. Born ton win!
