2017 GrandSlam Latin Moscow

Gabi and Anna go Standard! @ Puigbert

We’re back in Moscow for the last regular leg of the 2017 GrandSlam Series. Everybody should remember that last year’s Latin and Standard competitions deciding over which couples would make it to the “Final Showdown in Shanghai” had to be moved south on the shortest of notice.

After the hosts had maliciously cancelled them, a Spanish organiser took over and staged a GrandSlam Platja d’Aro on the same dates as it was initially scheduled: the last weekend in October! One year later, it is the All Russian Federation of DanceSport and Acrobatic Rock ‘n’ Roll, the new WDSF member since July, which acts as host and organiser. In a big way. Everything seems a little bigger and brighter at the Crocus Expo.

Participation in the GrandSlam Latin should be around 200 couples. On the tentative starting list - which we will post in about one hour - we even find Gabriele Goffredo - Anna Matus, MDA, who had announced in Stuttgart that they would unlikely make it to Moscow. They will have danced five out of five regular legs. To get to six, they would need enter the Standard too. Lluís Puigbert, our designer and cartoonist alludes to that in the billboard (on the left).
