This new DanceSport programming showcases the world’s best Standard and Latin dancers as it covers the regular legs of the 2015 GrandSlam Series held in Helsinki, Finland, Wuhan, China, Hong Kong, Moscow, Russia, and Stuttgart, Germany, before it moves on to the Finals in Shanghai, China.
The six programmes are hosted by dance legend Peter Maxwell and introduce the new judging system to the American audiences, a system whereby the adjudicators no longer compare one couple with the others on the floor, but focus on each couple individually and award points on an absolute scale.
Dancers in the USA should start checking their TV guides for air times/dates on their local Public Television channel. Times/dates vary greatly from one station to another.
An example for Northern California!
Episode 1: "World DanceSport GrandSlam Standard Series – The First Four Legs"
This first episode comprises highlights of four Standard competitions from the inaugural leg in in Helsinki, Finland, to the events in Wuhan, China, Hong Kong and Moscow. Former world champion Latin dancer and Honorary Life President of the WDSF Professional Division Peter Maxwell invites viewers to leave the confines of a ballroom and to take a look at how true athletes make a challenging sport of dance as they compete in the World DanceSport GrandSlam Standard Series.
In a whirlwind tour that brings them from Europe to Asia and back to Europe, top dancers in gowns and tails perform at sporting venues and in front of appreciative audiences. Provided the dancers make the six-couple final, they collect prize money and maximum ranking points at each leg of the Series.
The biggest names in the Standard dances meet at regular intervals throughout the year for match-ups between couples. Will the perennial runners-up, Dmitry Zharkov and Olga Kulikova of Russia, ever be able to beat the reigning World and GrandSlam Champions Simone Segatori and Annette Sudol of Germany?
