Youth Ten Dance and U21 Latin highlight the weekend
Bratislava (SVK) hosts the 2019 WDSF European Championship Youth Ten Dance on Saturday. 32 couples have registered for the event, including the reigning European and World Champions and World Ranking number ones in both Standard and Latin lists, Vladislav Untu – Polina Baryshnikova (MDA, in photo). Some of their fellow competitors have moved on to Adult and/or U21 age group, but there are also many couples who have just stepped in to Youth from Juniors, making the Championship a thrilling and spectacular event for many.
In addition to the European Championship, the weekend in Bratislava includes WDSF World Open Standard, which has 75 couples on the preliminary starting list, and WDSF World Open Latin with 66 couples on the preliminary starting list. Also, DanceSport Europe (DSE) Children’s GrandPrix and DSE Universities Championships have been added to the competition menu, as well as WDSF Open competitions for different age groups.
