WHAT IS DANCESPORT?Dance became a genuine sport at the beginning of the twentieth century when ballrooms were converted into venues for competition. In 1907, the first Tango competition took place in Nice, France. Paris, Berlin and London later followed with international ballroom competitions and continue today.
The World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) coined the term "DanceSport" in the early 1980s. DanceSport has become an engaging activity that is uniquely accessible and sociable, allowing participants to improve physical fitness and mental well-being to interact, and to obrtain results at all levels. Everybody is capable of moving to music and dance removes all barriers of age, gender and culture.
