Our Associate Member WRRC organises the opening event of the season in Valbonne Sophia Antipolis, France, on Saturday. World Cup in Boogie Woogie Main Class, Juniors and Seniors has attracted a good number of couples to start their international season of 2019. As there has been a break of almost three months since the 2018 World Cup Finals, couples have had plenty of time to rest, practice and to design new figures. We are looking forward to seeing them in action!

About an hour flight northwest, in Lyon, France, there are more than 400 couples shining on the dance floor of the Palais Des Sports. 65 couples are on the starting list of WDSF International Open Latin on Saturday, and 43 couples have registered for the WDSF International Open Standard on Sunday. In addition to these two competitions there are WDSF Opens in Youth and Senior 1-4 age groups as well as many French Open competitions during the two days.

In Lisbon, Portugal, latin rhythms fill up the venue on Saturday as all age groups have their Portugal Open Latin competitions during the day. The cherry on the cake will be the WDSF World Open Latin which will start at 16:20 local time (15:20 CET). WDSF Youth Open Latin with some national championship competitions will complete the weekend in Lisbon on Sunday.

Last, but certainly not least, there are WDSF International Open Standard and Latin, WDSF Open Youth Standard and Latin, and WDSF Open Rising Star Standard and Latin events in Moscow Region, Russia during the upcoming weekend.

With these amazing events we will say goodbye to the winter and start preparing for the spring season. There is a lot to look forward to… but before that, let’s enjoy this weekend in full! Good luck to all competitors, and for the organisers we wish a great success with your events!
