About the Webinar
As trusted figures in an athlete’s life, coaches and other Athlete Support Personnel (ASP) play a crucial role in shaping values and behaviours in sport. Athletes rely on their entourage for guidance and accurate information, making it essential to understand anti-doping rules and promote a culture of integrity in DanceSport.

This session will:

• Explain the roles and responsibilities of coaches and ASP.
• Provide practical advice on how to support athletes and protect yourself.
• Highlight ways to promote clean, fair, and ethical sporting environments.

The webinar will include a live Q&A session, and all attendees will receive a PDF of the presentation with links to useful resources.

We encourage all coaches, adjudicators, and athlete support personnel to participate in this important educational opportunity.

📅 Dates: October 21–23, 2025
📍 Location: Elbląg, Poland

On March 16, 2025, Belgrade hosted a major event for the international DanceSport community: the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) Congress for the renewal of international judges’ licenses. This congress served as a key opportunity for judges worldwide to update their knowledge and reinforce the WDSF’s commitment to excellence in adjudication.

As the official speaker, I, Pietro Braga, had the privilege of leading the congress with the invaluable support of Lorenzo Alberetti and Aleksandra Rastokova, the Italian 10-Dance Champions. Their expertise and practical demonstrations provided an insightful look into the latest judging criteria, emphasizing the critical role of musicality, technique, and biomechanics in DanceSport evaluations.

Key Topics and Updates

The congress focused on essential topics, offering judges an in-depth understanding of the latest WDSF guidelines, including:

✅ New evaluation standards to ensure consistency and precision in judging.
✅ The importance of musicality and how to correctly interpret rhythm in Standard and Latin dances.
✅ Biomechanics and partnering skills, essential for high-level performance.
✅ The evolution of DanceSport and the judges’ responsibility in recognizing innovation.

A High-Level Institutional Meeting

During the congress, I had the honor of meeting Mr. Despotov, President of the Bulgarian Federation, with whom I discussed the future of DanceSport in the Balkans and the opportunities for expanding the international circuit.

Additionally, I had the pleasure of sharing a moment with Mr. Nenad Jeftic, WDSF Vice President for Sport, a key figure in supporting the technical development of DanceSport worldwide. The photo featuring Lorenzo Alberetti, Aleksandra Rastokova, Mr. Jeftic, and myself symbolizes the vital collaboration between athletes, officials, and institutions in advancing our discipline.

The Importance of Continuous Education

The congress reaffirmed the necessity for international judges to maintain a high level of preparation to ensure consistent and professional evaluations in all competitions.

I extend my gratitude to the WDSF, the Bulgarian Federation, and all fellow judges who made this event a success. A special thank you to Lorenzo Alberetti and Aleksandra Rastokova, whose performance and insights brought the technical concepts to life.

By committing to continuous education and adaptation, we can ensure that DanceSport evolves while respecting both its traditions and the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

Pietro Braga
Speaker – WDSF Congress
Belgrade, March 16, 2025

DanceSport isn’t merely technique and choreography; it’s a continuous dialogue between body and music. For dancers, instructors, and judges, solid musical knowledge is not just helpful but essential for achieving excellence.

1. For Athletes and Competitors

For an athlete, deeply understanding music means elevating from a good technical performance to extraordinary artistic expression. Recognizing rhythm, accents, and phrasing enables precise movements filled with emotion and personality, transforming every performance into a unique and memorable experience.

2. For DanceSport Instructors

An instructor with strong musical expertise can teach students not only the mechanics of movement but also the interpretative nuances that make a performance truly special. Thorough musical preparation allows instructors to raise the quality of their training, producing athletes capable of excelling in competitions.

3. For Judges and Competition Evaluators

In dance competitions, where assessments must be impartial and precise, musical knowledge becomes critical. Judges lacking musical competence risk making inaccurate or superficial evaluations, unfairly penalizing athletes who effectively combine technique and musicality. A refined musical sensitivity ensures fair, balanced, and detailed judgments, genuinely recognizing the talent and hard work of the competitors.

Investing in musical education means genuinely investing in the authentic growth of DanceSport.
