| WDC Ltd Dance Sport Archive | |
The Dance Sport Archive of the WDC Ltd is constantly being updated with interesting information, including where possible how the nominated Adjudicators, by their country, marked the Finals with notes from the Semi-Final round at WDC Ltd World and European Dance Sport Championships. Due to unexpected mishaps at the previous Office, in London, much of this material was lost. The WDSC and the DSEB are thankful to the WDC Ltd Centre, in Bremen, Germany, for their continuous efforts in restoring this valueable information.
