It is for the sixth consecutive time that Chengdu, CHN, will be the backdrop to top-tier WDSF events. Back in 2010 it was a World Cup Standard that had the city premiere as a perennial host. With a GrandSlam each in 2011 and 2012 it took on the next challenges before it organised the first of an enduring series of World Championships, the World Youth Latin in 2013.
The World Ten Dance plus the World Showdance Latin and Standard are scheduled this year, on 5 and 6 September. They will all be reported on extensively by a WDSF Communications team that is on location. The "Live from Chengdu" blog will go up on Thursday 3 September.
