A Landmark Opportunity for the Next Generation
The 2026 WDSF DanceSport Festival in Blackpool once again brings the global DanceSport community together at one of the most iconic venues in the history of our sport – the Winter Gardens.
This year marks an important and inspiring development in the festival’s competitive programme. For the first time, the Juvenile, Junior I and Junior II categories are officially included in the daily competition schedule. This step reflects a forward-looking vision and a shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of DanceSport athletes.
Dance Sport Europe fully supports and welcomes the participation of young competitors in this prestigious festival. Blackpool is not merely a competition – it is part of the worldwide heritage of DanceSport. To step onto the floor of the legendary Empress Ballroom, accompanied by the distinguished Empress Orchestra, is an experience that shapes character, performance quality and artistic maturity.
For young dancers, competing in such an atmosphere is transformative. The history, the music, the elegance of the setting and the standard of excellence create an environment that elevates ambition and deepens understanding of the values that define our sport.
As an organisation bearing significant responsibility for the development of Juvenile and Junior athletes in both Latin and Standard disciplines, Dance Sport Europe places strong emphasis on supporting opportunities that contribute to their growth. Working in close and constructive collaboration with WDSF, Dance Sport Europe will officially recognize the participation of its athletes in the 2026 WDSF DanceSport Festival. https://www.dancesporteurope.org/calendar/
Furthermore, all points earned by Dance Sport Europe athletes in the respective categories during the festival will be counted towards the official Dance Sport Europe Ranking List.
This initiative reinforces a shared commitment: to invest in youth, to preserve tradition, and to ensure that the future of DanceSport is built upon both excellence and heritage.
The 2026 WDSF DanceSport Festival in Blackpool promises not only world-class competition, but a defining experience for the young generation who will carry our sport forward.

October marked a historic milestone for DanceSport Europe (DSE) with the launch of an exciting new competitive format: the DSE Team Challenge Cup. Held across two vibrant cities – Rome, Italy, and Sibiu, Romania – the events showcased not just individual technical brilliance, but the power of national cohesion. In a display of versatility and artistic flair, Team Romania swept the board, claiming victory in both the inaugural event in Rome and the subsequent competition in Sibiu. A New Era of Team Competition While DanceSport is traditionally focused on individual couples, the DSE Team Challenge Cup shifts the spotlight to national pride. The format was strictly defined to test the depth of the competing nations, with each country represented by four couples. The competition challenged these teams across a grueling multi-stage format: The Single Dances: Couples competed in three Ballroom (Standard) dances and three Latin American dances. The “Syllabus” Challenge: In a unique twist designed to test fundamental technique, one Standard dance and one Latin dance had to be performed using only syllabus figures. This stripped away open choreography, forcing judges to evaluate the pure technical foundation of the athletes. The Group Show: Following the individual heats, the four couples returned to the floor together to perform a choreographed group formation show. The final evaluation was a test of balance: 50% of the score was derived from the single dances, and 50% from the group show performance.

The Rome Debut (October 3rd) The series kicked off in the Eternal City on October 3rd. The atmosphere in Rome was electric as European nations gathered to test this new format for the first time. Team Romania set the standard immediately, balancing high scores in the restricted syllabus dances with an engaging group show to become the first-ever champions. However, the fight for the podium was intense. Team Spain delivered a passionate performance to secure 2nd place* while Team Poland showcased strong technical skills to take 3rd place and the bronze medals.

The Sibiu Showdown (October 31st) Fast forward to the end of the month, and the action moved to Sibiu, Romania. With the home crowd behind them, the pressure was on Team Romania to defend their title against a shaken-up field of competitors. The unique 50/50 scoring split once again proved to be the deciding factor. Team Romania rose to the occasion, repeating their success to secure their second gold medal of the month. The silver medal went to Team Italy, who traveled to Sibiu determined to improve on their result from the Rome leg. Meanwhile, Team Bulgaria impressed the judges with their consistency, rounding out the podium in 3rd place.

A Winning Formula The success of the Team Challenge Cup highlights a growing appetite for team-based events in the DanceSport world. By weighing the artistic group show equally with the technical individual heats, DSE has created a format that rewards well-rounded dancers and national teamwork. Congratulations to Team Romania for an undefeated run in October, and to Spain, Poland, Italy, and Bulgaria for their podium finishes
