2019 WDSF World Championship U21 Ten Dance
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!

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!
