Dear Member-countries,
On behalf of the Dance Sport Executive Board and the organisers of this year's World Dance Sport Championships - Professional BALLROOM Division, 2nd October 2010 in Canada, I would like to inform you that the new rule that has been adopted at this year's Dance Sport Committee Meeting in Blackpool, will be implemented at the above event.
Please inform your couples thereof. I have copied the added rule to this email as below.
If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Dance Sport Office at any time.
Kind regards, Nicole Burns-Hansen, WDC Dance Sport Office
Current Rule 1.5.4
Ballroom & Latin Rounds
In the Ballroom Championships & Latin Championships the 5 dances shall be performed without interruption.
Proposed addition to 1.5.4
In all Ballroom and Latin Championships one dance in each round shall be limited to the Basic Figures listed in the currently recognised Technique Books applicable to each style. The dances shall be drawn at random at the commencement of the competition by the Chairman of Adjudicators. (In a 5 round competition the Basic dance would therefore be different in each round, in a six or more round competition the order of the Basic Dances would be repeated as per the original draw.)

Federal Chancellor
Greetings
to the DAT Dance Masters and
World Masters of International DanceSport Association (IDSA)
I sincerely congratulate all those, who take part in IDSA and DAT World Amateur Open competition, the organizers and not in the last turn the audience.
Der Bundesverband Deutscher Tanzlehrer e. V. undertook the running of DAT sports competition in twelve different dance trends and 23 IDSA World Championships, which undoubtedly is a responsible task, and promises to be a worrying event as well. As the fight for titles exists to attain the highest results in sports art, grace, elegance and accuracy get connected in an amazing way. Couples from all over the world show their mastery in more than 50 types of competition in different dance manners. Thus, for three days Mannheim will become a source, paradise for amatuers, experts and skilled dancers from every part of the world.
I want to thank all those, who were conducive with a great efficiency to the success of this sensational activity. I wish all the teams to get the expected sports success and the audience, too, to see an exciting and interesting competition.
Angela Merkel
