World Dance Organisation: Celebrating Dance Excellence with Sparkle ✨

Posted by Rhinestones Unlimited on Oct 7th 2025

For the second year in 2025, the World Dance Organisation (WDO) brings together dancers, teachers, and supporters from around the globe for an event unlike any other—an evening dedicated to celebrating excellence in dance- the World Dance Organisation Gala at the Natural History Museum in London—where history, artistry, and sparkle come together.

This isn’t a competition, this is a special night focused on recognition, artistry, and honoring the dancers who inspire us all. With special performances, presentations, and awards, the night shines a spotlight on pro-am dancers and professionals who represent the best of the ballroom and Latin dance world.

Our Partnership with WDO 

Rhinestones Unlimited is honored to partner with WDO to create the hand-crystallized trophies and crowns that recognize these outstanding achievements. Each award is finished with Lux European Crystal™, chosen for its unmatched brilliance, clarity, and consistency.

Because when a dancer steps forward to be honored, the trophy or crown in their hands should shine as brightly as their dedication.



Trophies, Crowns, and Pins

The awards are to be given to the first recipients of the WDO Pro Am Ranking Series which is a series of dance competitions kicked off in October of 2024 and culminating at the Gala on October 12, 2025. 

The dancers to be recognized at the gala are the Supreme Students, Top Students, and Top Teachers with the highest ranking scores from this last year's series of qualifying events. 

Our team has been hard at work customizing gorgeous dancing couple statues, royal crowns and stately lapel pins. The awards were all hand embellished and customized with gold leaf and sapphire blue LUX European Crystals in the colors of the World Dance Organisation.

Honoring Karina Smirnoff

We owe special thanks to Karina Smirnoff, whose vision and connection made this partnership possible. A true icon of ballroom, Karina has dedicated her career to elevating dance and inspiring generations of performers.

Her artistry embodies everything this annual celebration is about: passion, discipline, and brilliance. By inviting us into the WDO London 2025 story, Karina has helped us continue our mission to support artists with sparkle—this time on one of dance’s most prestigious stages.

Why This Partnership Matters

For the dancers being honored, WDO London is a career highlight—an evening that recognizes years of hard work and artistry. For us, being trusted to create the crowns, pins and trophies that represent those achievements is a true privilege.

Every crystal we place is a reflection of the dedication, artistry, and love for dance that these performers bring to the floor. Together with WDO and Karina Smirnoff, we are proud to celebrate excellence in every facet.
