A minor hick-up on the ftp file transfers ... Finally we have been able to download what was recorded of Round 1. What we have received earlier are the photographs. A first batch of the fantastic shots taken by Prof Dr Helmut Roland is up in the Gallery. And some are right here ...
Videos are processing!
A new record participation it is NOT! There were some no-shows among the 90 couples that were anticipated, but 86 couples on the floor for the first round still makes for a huge championship. The official starting list with numbers was just forwarded to WDSF Communications ... and we pass it on to you.

While you are waiting for the first batch of videos to come in from across the street, from the Grand Ballroom at the Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre in Singapore, why not take a city tour?
For your information: the first round is about to be completed. The first videos will be uploaded shortly!
And # 4! The interview with Lim Chong Aik and Riane Low, one of two couples dancing on home turf.
To continue making our point from the previous post, here is another interview. This time, Gladys Tay managed to get the German couple Sergey and Viktoria Tatarenko in front of the camera.
Not the Danes again, you say. But yes, it is them. Again! Gladys Tay conducts the interview with Martino Zanibellato and Michelle Abildstrup, DEN.
As we uploaded this interview, after the one with Andrey and Anna, we discovered that we received an interesting comment on the first one on YouTube. Sara wrote:
"i like them, but in my opinion, it's not polite to the other couples who are also candidates for the title to interview just Anna and Andrey. It seems like the organizers favour this couple, and that's not real sport behaviour ..."
WDSF Communications replied:
We appreciate your comment very much and we will reply to it first thing tomorrow, just as soon as we upload the interviews with other participating couples. We understand your concerns and assure you that we, too, are concerned and determined to avoid any bias or favouritism whatsoever in the coverage we produce. Please, check our blog tomorrow.
Your thoughts on the topic?
In part, our reply is herewith given: we uploaded another one ... and even more are still to come. As was planned!
Before they retired, a number of the couples made themselves available to the hostess Gladys Tay for a short interview. This is the more serious part of the pre-championship coverage that WDSF Communications provides from the Lion City and the 2011 World Latin.
More ITVs will go up on this blog soon.
