European Championship Show Dance STD and LAT and European Cup Ten Dance
The first European Championship Show Dance Standard and Latin took place in Usti nad Labem, Czech Republic on Saturday.

Artur Balandin - Anna Salita from Germany got silver and Vladislav Artiushkov - Sofia Vershinina from Russia secured bronze.
There was also an interesting European Cup Ten Dance in Usti nad Labem. World Championship Ten Dance is within a week, and the competition might have become a sort of prelude to Warsaw. Total of 19 couples were present. The winners were Mstislav Kazakov - Alena Kazakova from Russia, who repeated their win of 2017. Silver medals were presented to bronze medalists of 2017, Andrea Roccatti - Flaminia Iannone from Italy, and the Finnish couple Marius Toperczer Muresan - Claudia Ketonen received bronze.
