Nine years after a GrandSlam was held in Rimini, ITA, for the first and last time until 2018, the premier Series in DanceSport returned to the Adriatic resort town. This time with both disciplines and - as the Italians say - "allo grande."
At an imposing venue, in the "Blue Arena" at the Rimini Fair, the couples (92 in Standard and 67 in Latin) outdid themselves in a setting that looked every bit as perfect as those seen in "Dancing with the Stars."
The top two couples in the GrandSlam Standard would be able to confirm that Rimini as a DanceSport destination has evolved much since 2009. That was the year they finished 14th (Dmitry Zharkov and Olga Kulikova) and 21st (Francesco Galuppo and Debora Pancini). But so have they!
The Latin couples have a more recent reference: they danced the European Championship here in 2016. Even if it was nearly perfect then, the set-up of the hall has been taken to an even higher level.
Thousands (exact number will be available soon) of you have been able to appreciate that during the almost 160 minutes of the webcast coming out of Rimini on DST and FloDance on each of the two days of the GrandSlam.
Meanwhile, the two streaming platforms will continue their discussions on joining forces in the future. A very ambitious project for Stuttgart and the German Open Championships is in the pipelines. Information should become available within the next two weeks.
In any case, the two video-on-demand packages will become available on DanceSport Total Plus on Friday 20 and 27 July. A few more YouTube videos on earlier rounds should go up by tomorrow. Stay tuned for more!
