On the second day of the training course for competition officials, organised by the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) at the Olympic Preparation Centre in Acqua Acetosa, participants delved into the fundamental elements of DanceSport: rules, technique, music, and choreography.

The course placed a strong emphasis on training and innovation, ensuring that competition officials maintain high and consistent standards on the international stage. Participants had the opportunity to learn from leading experts Anna De Grande and Asis Khadjeh-Nouri, whose presentations provided valuable insights and guidance to enhance the quality of judging worldwide.

Additionally, the day included two crucial examinations covering rehabilitation and EGS, which are essential for both obtaining new licences and renewing existing ones. Special attention was given to mastering the English language, a key requirement for officials operating at global competitions.
