Warm-up

The beautiful city of Nice on the French Riviera, hosts WDSF International Open Standard and Latin at Sallé Leyrit. International Open Latin has attracted close to 30 couples on the starting list on Saturday, while International Open Standard has 23 couples competing on Sunday. In addition to these two competitions the event includes eleven WDSF Open competitions to all age groups, from Juniors to Senior IV couples.

St. Petersburg (RUS) hosts WDSF International Open Standard and Latin, WDSF Open Ten Dance and WDSF Youth Open Standard and Latin. This three-day event which begins already on Friday will take place at Holiday Inn Moskovskie Vorota. International Open Latin on Saturday has 53 couples on the starting list, representing 17 countries. International Open Standard on Sunday has 48 couples from eight countries participating. Total number of starts during the three days is 1245. The organiser has written on the event website: ”Many surprises await ahead!” We’ll just have to wait and see what they are!

Siauliai (LTU) hosts WDSF Open competitions for Junior I, Junior II and Youth age groups in both Standard and Latin. The two-day event, which celebrates 25th anniversary this year, lets dancers and couples widely from the very beginner national level to the experienced international level a chance to compete in the same venue, at Siauliai Arena, during the same day. We are sure many of the youngest dancers will meet their idols, while the most experienced ones can show the beginners an example on and off the dance floor.

There is an event also on Asian territory, as Singapore hosts WDSF Open Latin on Sunday. SGDF, the Singapore DanceSport Federation, has the event listed as one of the three National Ranking Events, and athletes are recommended to participate in order to accumulate ranking points. The event will surely attract many of the couples of the region to the Parkroyal Hotel.

Good luck and good dancing to all the couples on different dance floors during the weekend!
