Last Night's Rehearsals 28/09/2013

Khatantuul, MGL © Roland The formation teams competing for the world title in Tyumen, RUS, spent time last night to try out the dance floor at the Central Sports Complex.

That participation in this World Formation Stnadard is somewhat lower than in previous years could have to do with the fact that the World DanceSport Games had brought seven teams to Taiwan less than two weeks ago.

Some of the formation teams travelled to the Siberian city of Tyumen almost straight from Kaohsiung, TPE, and the World DanceSport Games there.

After Formation Standard was contested on 16 September at the K-Arena in Kaohsiung, the teams' focus turned immediately to the upcoming World Championship.

On Saturday 28 September they will now dispute the 2013 world title at the Central Sports Complex in Tyumen.
The defending world champions from Braunschweig, GER, and last year's runners-up from Ludwigsburg, GER, and Tyumen, RUS, are again the favourites.

After Judging System 2.0 was used in assessing the formations' performances at the World DanceSport Games, it is back to the traditional ways of picking the winners at this championship. Maybe for the very last time!
