Two thousands people from OMSK had the pleasure to watch a wonderful competition. Traditional folk dancers placed us in the right atmosphere at he beginning of the opening ceremony.

The Presidents of IDSF, Mr. Carlos Freitag and IPDSC, Mr. Peter Maxwell, have signed an historic agreement of co-operation for the future of DanceSport.
Following the successful establishment of IPDSC it confirmed its desire to work closely with the IDSF, and IDSF confirmed its support for IPDSC, for the benefit of the members of both organisations and DanceSport in general.
The agreement realises the goal of harmonising relations between IDSF and the DanceSport profession, with each respecting the other’s positions, values and worth.
The agreement also opens the way for discussions surrounding matters of vital importance to all parties. The openness and spirit of co-operation between the two bodies bodes well for success.
IDSF and IPDSC are committed to the details of the agreement and are sure that members of the DanceSport community from all countries, activities and levels will be delighted with this key step toward the achievement of the further recognition DanceSport deserves as a major and important international activity.
