Kiinan Wuxissa tanssittiin perjantaina vakiotanssin maailmanmestaruudesta

Kiinan Wuxissa tanssittiin perjantaina vakiotanssin maailmanmestaruudesta

Markus Kinnunen ja Ellen Puotiniemi sekä Aleksi Ahola ja Fay Antikainen vakiotanssin MM-kisoissa Kiinan Wuxissa

Heinäkuussa kilpailukalenteri on ollut tanssin osalta tyhjempi, mutta WDSF:n yleisen sarjan vakiotanssin MM-kisoja päästiin kuitenkin jännittämään perjantaina 21.7. Kiinan Wuxissa. Upeissa puitteissa järjestetyissä kilpailuissa osallistujia oli yli 60.

 Kilpailujen voittoon tanssi Liettuan Evaldas Sodeika ja Ieva Zukauskaite. Viime vuonna he sijoittuvat Italian MM-kisoissa toiseksi ja tänä vuonna he onnistuivat nappaamaan kirkkaimman mitalin.

 Suomea kilpailuissa oli edustamassa kaksi paria. Markus Kinnunen ja Ellen Puotiniemi tanssivat tiensä toiselle kierrokselle sijoittuen lopulta jaetuille sijoille 42–44. “Saavutimme tavoitteemme eli 48 parhaan joukkoon pääsemisen. Olimme myös paras U21-pari, mistä olemme tosi iloisia!”

Aleksi Ahola ja Fay Antikainen sijoittuvat kilpailuissa sijalle 52. ”Upeat kilpailut ja hienoa edustaa Suomea MM-kisoissa. Nautimme joka hetkestä lattialla ja kiitämme kaikkia tukijoitamme, jotka ovat auttaneet meitä tällä matkalla: valmentajat, seurat, liitto sekä kaikki kanssatanssijat”.

 Suomalaisparit jatkoivat urakkaansa Kiinassa vielä sunnuntaina, sillä molemmat parit tanssivat vakiotanssin GrandSlam -kilpailussa. Pareja kilpailuun osallistui 124. Markus ja Ellen sijoittuivat sijalle 49 ja jäivät ensimmäisenä ulos kolmannelta kierrokselta. “Viikonlopun aikana saimme parannettua tanssiamme kierros kierrokselta ja tyytyväisiä olemme niin tanssiin kuin tuloksiinkin. Haluamme kiittää sydämemme pohjasta valmentajiamme sekä vanhempiamme, sillä he heräsivät katsomaan jokaisen kierroksen aikaerosta huolimatta. Kiitos myös Suomen huipputiimille täällä Wuxissa!”

Aleksi ja Fay tanssivat vakiotanssin GrandSlam -kilpailussa sijalle 82. Pari jäi harmillisesti ensimmäisenä parina ulos toiselta kierrokselta.

WDSF online tuomarikongressi 4.4.2023

WDSF DANCESPORT ACADEMY NEWS (2/23) – WDSF ONLINE STANDARD AND LATIN ADJUDICATORS CONGRESS                                                           

Dear Members and WDSF Adjudicators,

In consideration of the difficulties with the limited number of events and the high cost for travel during this post-Pandemic recovery period, the WDSF Academy will offer an Online Congress for adjudicators who need to renew their licenses but were unable to attend the Congress in Jan 2023 in Spain and before.

This coming Online congress will be held on 4 April 2023. I confirm that this Congress will be the only Online Congress for the 2023 year.  Please note that other In-person Congresses, such as the one in Stuttgart will continue to be conducted.

It is the intention of the Academy to resume only in-person congresses in different parts of the World as soon as possible, but hopefully by 2024. As you would understand, the online Congresses lack the benefit of interaction between lecturers and other participants. In-person Congresses can also be an important part of a successful DanceSport events and festivals.

This coming Online congress will provide licensed adjudicators with a license renewal for 1 year.  It is not our intention to disrupt the in-person Congresses that have already being scheduled this year. New applicants can also attend this congress, however there will be no examination online.

The time schedule for this coming Online congress is as follows:

01:30pm(CET) – Sports Updates

02:30pm(CET) – Break

02:45pm(CET) – Lecture, Judging Standard Dance

04:00pm(CET) – Break

04:15pm(CET) – Lecture, Judging Latin Dance

05:30pm(CET) – End of congress

(lecture topic/lecturer will be sent to all participants upon registration for this congress)

With the new updating scheme of Adjudicator’s education status, our Adjudicator’s will no longer lose their 24 months validity period should he/she attend a congress before the expiry of the educational requirement. With the update, the new expiry date will account for the balance of months before the original expiry date, up to a maximum of six months, in addition to the 24 months validity. For example, if the education license expires on 30 June 2022, an Adjudicator attends a congress on 1 Jan 2023, the new expiry date will be 30 June 2025 for In-person Congress and 30 June 2024 for an Online Congress. The new qualification period for the education allows Adjudicators to have more flexibility to attend a congress further in advance of the expiry date.

The existing allowance of 14 days of license validity after the expiry date still applies. For example, if the educational license expires on 30 June 2023, the Adjudicator may still adjudicate until 14 July 2023.

Deadlines

The deadlines for:

  • Registration of new applicants for the WDSF Adjudicator License: 25 March, 23:59 GMT
  • Registration and payment for the Congress: 1 April, 23:59 GMT

Upcoming Congresses

– WDSF AJS JS 3.0 Absolute Judgement Course on 6 & 7 August (To be confirmed) at Stuttgart, Germany
– WDSF Adjudicators Congress on 20 November at Riga, Latvia

WDSF Academy
