World Dancesport Grandslam Series

Latin Series: The First Four Legs

Season 1, Episode 2 of 6

This second episode covers four legs of the GrandSlam Latin Series, from the first leg in Helsinki, Finland, to Wuhan, China, in Hong Kong and Moscow. Italians Nino Langella and Khrystyna Moshenska have dominated Latin dancing for the past three years. After winning three World Championships and a total of 13 GrandSlams, the couple split ahead of this year's GrandSlam Series. Both dancers found new partners. Will either Nino or Khrystyna, in their new partnerships, be able to replicate their prior success? Two couples in particular stand poised to keep that from happening: Gabriele Goffredo and Anna Matus from Moldova, and Russians Armen Tsaturyan and Svetlana Gudyno, who have long tried to break the hegemony of the Italians. Dance legend Peter Maxwell is the host to this hour featuring DanceSport competition full of glitz and glamour. Once the world's best face off against each other on the floor, the focus turns to the sporting action that combines perfect technique with artistry and outstanding athleticism in highly aesthetic performances.
