The big highlight of the 16-hour programme on Easter Saturday is the WDSF Standard Adults competition with 74 couples, other core events of the evening programme are the WDSF Standard Seniors III and Youth. On Easter Sunday, the WDSF Latin Adults tournament stands out, with 65 couples competing and the final being danced at around 8 pm.
