Over 200 couples danced over two days at the Crocus Expo venue to determine the winners of the last regular leg in the 2015 GrandSlam Standard Series. Dancing started at 8 a.m. for the first round for those couples that were not in the top 50 of the WDSF World Ranking. Over more than three hours, they were called to the floor in countless heats. The best made it to the decisive stages on day two, when the 12 adjudicators took up their positions in front of computer terminals and started officiating the last three rounds with the WDSF Judging System 2.1.1. Ultimately, six couples would be left to dance in the final. Who is likely to get that far, you are asking? Well, Moscow is always good for a few new faces making their first appearance in a last round. Last year it was Anton Skuratov - Alena Uehlin, GER, and Vasily Kirin - Ekaterina Prozorova, AUT, who went up against the much more established finalists from Russia and Lithuania. Can they repeat in 2015? In any case, the level of dancing was spectacular and the atmosphere splendid when the master of ceremony signalled the orchestra to play for the first solo dance: the Tango! The full-length semi-final and final of the 2015 GrandSlam Standard in Moscow, RUS, danced on 25 October.
