WDSF Communications team member Helmut Roland is taking photographs during the early rounds of this World Standard. For the final round, he will change his still for a state-of-the-art HD video camera and record the world's best alongside the other expert videographer, Ferran Castañer. We will upload more of Helmut's photographs to the Gallery shortly.
72 couples have danced the first round. 36 are on call for the redance - which, according to our schedule, is about to start any moment - and 36 can kick back and relax. They have qualified directly for round 2. Here are the lucky ones!

As the 2011 WDSF World DanceSport Championship Standard is getting underway in Moscow, we post the small backlog of pre-event interviews that were recorded last night. Prof Helmut Roland caught up with Emanuel and Tania when they checked out the floor.
WDSF Communications can count on the help of InterDance in the production of coverage on the 2011 World Standard. The player in the top tier of this blog provides our followers with a permanent live stream from the venue, the Crocus Expo in Moscow. At this very moment (11:00 CEST) the live signal is on the World Standard but throughout the day covers all the other events (International Open Latin, etc.) as well.
The unique set-up allows you to watch all the action of the Russian Open and to follow the 2011 World Standard minute-by-minute with an even greater variety of angles on every round.
Another novelty for this blog: YOU may COMMENT on any post - even on the live stream - without the need to register yourself first. As YOU are taking advantage of this change in policy, WDSF Communications wishes to remind YOU that profanity, insults and abusive language have no place on this blog!
WDSF Communications would like to thank InterDance for allowing to embed their live stream on the Official Championship Blog!
You think that you have been to huge competitions, seen spacious venues, met fellow dancers by the thousands? Then you have either been to the German Open or danced the Russian Open yourself.
This ROC is of a magnitude that nearly compares with that of Stuttgart. WDSF Communications is still trying to find out just how many couples are dancing in the different competitions at the Crocus Expo, the international exhibition and convention centre in Moscow. Heidi Goetz took a few photographs with her iPhone to give you an idea of the scale of things here.
Some information regarding the Opens Latin and Standard we have received: more than 400 couples in each, both extend over two days, and participation is approximately 75% Russian.
72 couples representing 40 nations - and, politically correct, some territories among them - will be dancing the first round tomorrow. That is down slightly from the 2010 edition of the World Standard in Wetzlar, GER. All six of last year's finalists are in Moscow, again with highest ambitions.

The department in charge of accreditation at the 2011 Russian Open hase been working feverishly over the last few hours. They wanted to make sure that each and every one of the athletes competing in tomorrow's World Standard will see his name spelled properly in the official Starting List.
The organisers took it even one step further: together with the Master of Ceremony they went through the list and ensured that the pronounciation of these name will be nothing short of perfect too.
WDSF Communications will publish the list just as soon as it has received the final approval by the Chairman, Wolfgang Eliasch.
Here you have the panel of Adjudicators for tomorrow's World Standard. Nine experts lined up around the floor and working under the watchful eye of Wolfgang Eliasch, the chairman!
