A thorough examination of the fundamentals of dancesport kicked off the first day of the
two-day technical officials’ refresher course. Mr. Mar Gauden Aceron, tournament manager of
the dancesport competition, enlightened the participants on the subtle nuances that
characterize this ever-changing field. Participants studied the new guidelines that the
Department of Education had painstakingly created, which complied perfectly with the strict
requirements that the World Dancesport Federation (WDSF) and the Philippine Dancesport
Federation (PDSF) have put down.
A fascinating discussion took place, revealing the technological applications that are
present in every step and syllabus used in both Latin American and modern standard
disciplines. Enthusiastically participating, they absorbed knowledge and methods essential for
judging in these fascinating categories. A great deal of care was taken to clarify the dress
restrictions for the junior and juvenile categories, making sure that everyone followed the rules
and creating a professional environment.
The day was ended with a reminder to study hard and practice well for the written and
practicum the next day.
