The 2012 World Championship Freestyle Standard was being held on September 22nd in Beijing. It was one of the four highlights of this year`s Beijing International DanceSport Open.
The new sections “Freestyle Standard” and “Freestyle Latin” were started last year. For this year`s competition fourteen couples had registered. Following the rules a minimum of three out of the five standard dances have to be shown during 75 % of the time, which is between 3:30 and 4:00 minutes. Elements of the other dances may be included up to 25 % time of the show.
