The only title event of the week is the 2019 WDSF World Championship U21 Ten Dance in Yerevan (ARM). 43 couples representing 20 countries have registered to the title event held at Pharaon Hotel and Entertainment Centre. The reigning World Champions, Semen Khrzhanovskiy - Elizaveta Lykhina (RUS) (in photo) are not on the starting list, but the silver medalists from 2018, Oleg Chzhen – Alina Ageeva (RUS) are. 

Some of these young and energetic Ten Dance couples are also participating the WDSF World Open Latin on the same day, making the most of their trip to Armenia. That competition is the only WDSF World Open event during the weekend and we can spot some familiar names on the starting list, for example the silver medalists of the European Cup Latin last week, and the number one couple on the World Ranking List.

There are six WDSF International Open events on two continents during the weekend. Frankfurt (GER) hosts a three-day event at Eissporthalle Frankfurt with 11 World Ranking competitions including the WDSF International Open Standard on Saturday and Latin on Sunday. The organiser sent us some photos of the venue from last year and it looks massive with many dance floors side by side!

Olomouc (CZE) hosts the WDSF International Open Latin with 50 couples on Saturday and International Open Standard with 53 couples on Sunday. There are also 12 other World Ranking competitions being scheduled at Hotel Flora.

Ponzano Veneto, in the Province of Treviso (ITA) hosts 11 WDSF Open competitions, WDSF International Open Latin with 48 couples, and WDSF International Open Standard with 40 couples at Palacicogna on Saturday. Seraing (BEL) also hosts a WDSF International Open Latin and Standard, together with five WDSF Open competitions. The event takes place at Bois de l’Abbaye Sports Hall on Saturday.

Tbilisi (GEO) hosts WDSF International Open Latin together with WDSF U21 Open Latin on Saturday and WDSF Youth Open Latin on Sunday. Last, but not least, Yi Chang (CHN) hosts WDSF International Open Latin on Saturday, International Open Standard on Sunday, and WDSF Open Standard and Latin for Junior I and Youth age groups during the weekend.

WDSF Open events will be hosted on two continents aswell, as San Antonio (USA) host WDSF Open Smooth and WDSF Open Standard competitions for Senior I and II age groups and WDSF Open Latin for Senior II age group during a two-day event which starts on Friday. Los Angeles (USA) hosts WDSF Open Standard competitions for Senior I, II and III age groups and WDSF Open Latin for Adults and Senior II on Sunday. And, in Europe, Larissa (GRE) hosts WDSF Open Standard for Adult and Youth, and WDSF Open Latin for Adult, Youth and Under 21. The event in Larissa takes place on Saturday.

Our associate member, WRRC, is having World Cup Rock'n'Roll Main Class Free Style and World Cup Boogie Woogie Main Class and Juniors in Moscow (RUS) on Saturday.

Ten WDSF events on three continents, including a World Championship for couples under 21 years of age, and the WRRC event in Moscow once again give an opportunity for dancers from Juniors to Seniors to test their skills together with their peers on the parquet. We wish them all the best for the weekend! For the organisers we say good luck and all the best success with your events!
