The tournament for Ballroom Dancing will take place Tuesday 17 to Friday 20 August 2021 at Hal C in Copenhagen.
The tournament offers five different Dance categories:
- Standard
- Latin
- 10 Dance
- Show dance
- Handidance
For male couples, female couples, or mixed/ non-binary couples the Standard and Latin categories are danced as seperate Open (+18) or Senior competitions. Based on qualification rounds the couples will compete within classes (A, B, C, or D). The winning couples of the D class will be invited to dance the C class and so on.
The 10 dance competitions are danced as seperate competitions for male couples, female couples, or mixed/ non-binary couples. However, the Open and Senior competitions will be danced together as an Open competition for male. The combined age of the dance partners, however, will be automatically calculated for Senior competition results as well as for the Open. This means that within a gender category you can only have one partner. The 10 dance competitions are not divided into classes.
In Show Couples or Show Groups with 3 dancers or more there are no gender and age regulations.
Handidance requires that at least on the dancers in the couple be physically disabled. In the registration you are invited describe your level of ability and to specify which competitions you wish to participate in. The program will be made according to this input.
The tournament will be judged according to the ESSDA rules. You can find them here.
