Chinese DanceSport fans and enthusiasts will have an unprecedented opportunity to watch Standard, Latin and Breaking through Best of DanceSport and Grand Slam series of 2019 on CCTV-5.

The marvelous possibility saw its daylight when SPORTFIVE (newly branded Lagardère Sports, and the WDSF Asian Media Rights Partner) shook hands with the Chinese broadcaster CCTV for a contract for exposure of all the Best of DanceSport and Grand Slam series in CCTV´s sports channel. CCTV-5 covers the mainland China and Macau area, with a viewership of more than 1 billion people.

With this deal DanceSport rises to same category, as regards audience exposure of this size, with other international major sports federations, which have had the possibility to reach the spectators through gigantic CCTV-5. Due to the recent renewed collaboration established with SPORTFIVE, this unique opportunity reached also DanceSport, of which the WDSF is extremely proud. The CCTV-5 exposure will take the visibility of Standard, Latin and Breaking to a new level, alongside with other significant sports: the 2019 WDSF production of quality events provide an excellent content to fill the void of real-time events.
