Sparkles Across The Floor

Close to 300 couples dance over two days at the Crocus Expo venue to determine the winners of the last regular leg in the 2015 GrandSlam Standard Series. Dancing starts at 8 a.m. for the first round for those couples that are not in the top 50 of the WDSF World Ranking. Over more than three hours, they are called to the floor in countless heats. The best will make it to the decisive stages on day two, when the 12 adjudicators will take up their positions in front of computer terminals and start officiating the last three rounds with the WDSF Judging System 2.1.1.

Ultimately, six - maybe even seven, if the sums of points and fractions thereof work out accordingly - will be left to dance in the final. Who is likely to get that far, you are asking? Well, Moscow is always good for a few new faces making their first appearance in a last round. Last year it was Anton Skuratov - Alena Uehlin, GER, and Vasily Kirin - Ekaterina Prozorova, AUT, who went up against the much more established finalists from Russia and Lithuania. Can they repeat in 2015?

In any case, the level of dancing will be spectacular and the atmosphere splendid when the master of ceremony signals the orchestra to play for the first solo dance: the Waltz!

Here is a look back at the 2014 GrandSlam Standard Moscow final and a teaser for what awaits you on the evening of Sunday 25 October ... Sparkles scattered across the floor!
