International DanceSport Latin World Championships: Ostrava, Czech Republic
The 2005 IDSF World Latin Championship took place in Ostrava in the Czech Republic. Some five hours drive from the capital Prague, the growth of this bustling industrial hub has been fuelled by the mining industry. It is believed that coal was first extracted in the area over 30,000 years ago by mammoth hunters looking to keep their home fires burning. Back in the here and now, it's Latin passion and the IDSF World Title that are turning up the heat. The Championship was held in the "CEZ Arena", a huge sports hall renovated two years ago for the 2004 World Ice Hockey Championship. The hall was packed with 4,500 enthusiastic spectators. Program includes short interviews/introductions of the main favourites, a feature on the 2nd-ranked Italian brother and sister pairing of Stefano and Annalisa DiFilippo in their hometown Rome, action from the semi-final and the complete final of the Championship.

International DanceSport Standard World Championships: Krefeld, Germany
The KonigPalast in Krefeld, Germany, hosts the 2005 IDSF World Championship Standard. More than 5000 enthusiastic spectators saw a thrilling Final. Clear favourites were the defending Champions Italy's Domenico Soale and Gioia Cerasoli, unbeaten for almost 2 years. However, the Lithuanians Arunas Bizokas and Edita Daniute pushed the Italians hard at last year's World Championship on home soil -beaten into the runners-up place only after the very last dance. The German brother and sister pairing of Sascha and Natascha Karabey came 3rd at last year but are expected to attack their 2 closest rivals on home soil. Program includes short introductions of the main favourites, a feature on the top-ranked English Standard couple Warren and Kristi Boyce at their home in Bournemouth/UK, action from the semi-final and the complete final of the Championship.

Performed over 10 dances - 5 in each style (Latin and Standard) - the event makes huge demands on the participants' concentration and stamina. Fitness and good preparation are absolutely essential.
