Choreography is prepared by Viktor Nikovsky - a former four -time finalist of European championships in Latin American dances.

But still, the winners are not chosen by professional referees, but by viewers. RG: How will the winner determine? Popov: viewers will evaluate the overall impression - dance, choreography, costumes and the choice of music. An expert commentary will help them in which the performance and its artistic component will be described.

Voting will be held in a format similar to a children's "Eurovision", and will begin from the very beginning of the show, the lines will be open throughout all the performances and until the last show of their fragments. You can vote by phone or SMS. And you can’t give a voice for your own country. The leaders from each country-party will announce points from 1 to 30 minutes the winner will be known.
