Day 1 at BeoDance Open 2024: The Energy Kicks Off in Belgrade, Serbia

European Choreographic Solo Latin Female Adult

The BeoDance Open 2024 kicked off today in Belgrade, Serbia, marking a historic milestone for DanceSport. Athletes and teams from over 20 different countries gathered for this remarkable event, which featured two major firsts in WDSF history: the inaugural the WDSF World Cup Solo Latin Female Adult and the launch of the WDSF European Choreographic Championship, showcasing creativity and teamwork on a grand scale.

The first day of competition continued with a variety of thrilling events, including the WDSF Open Solo Latin Female Adult, Youth, Junior I and II categories, as well as the highly anticipated choreographic contests for both Small and Big Teams across various age groups. The Solo Latin events were particularly notable, serving as a prelude to the upcoming WDSF World Championship Solo Latin Female in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina this November. This new competition format has grown significantly in recent years, and today’s performances have set the stage for an exciting future in this dynamic discipline.
