I have just read a Press Release regarding a dance competition taking place in Moscow in the very near future. The release ends with the words I quote below. Of special interest to some people might be that this event is organised by the National Dance League in Russia and it is a WDC AL event.

The Vice President of the Russian Olympic Committee will attend the event and I am sure enjoy the performances from the more than 2000 couples taking part.

One of the major prospective activities of the National Dance League is in complete harmony with the aesthetic and physical development of children and youth, in particular, the mass involvement of the younger generation to ballroom dancing classes, as one of the most harmonious of sporting activities, which include a strong aesthetic and cultural component. We believe that holding tournament dance is an integral part of this project and helping to attract more and more of our fellow citizens to participate in sports and cultural life of Russia.
With great pleasure we invite all of you for a wonderful celebration of dance - "Moscow Stars-2011" ! President of the National Dance League Sergei Ryupin and Executive Tournament Director Pauline Teplenko

The tournament "Moscow Stars" are supported by the Russian Olympic Committee, which in 2011 celebrated its 100 anniversary

ROC President Alexander Zhukov, has named this year as very important not only for Russia but for the entire Olympic movement. "We decided to use to the maximum this year to promote the sport in general, among young people - promote the ideas of Olympism. Well, of course, to support the huge number of interesting events "-

Here's an excerpt from the statement of the head of the ROC. "We are very pleased to announce that "Moscow Stars-2011" was included in the list of activities commemorating the 100 th anniversary of the Russian olimipyskogo committee and held under its auspices

It is interesting that the Russian Olympic Committee say it is under their auspices. A real boost for dancing in Russia.
It seems they Russian Olympic Committee in their thinking are many years ahead of the IOC.
