What is Danceport?

Dancesport is the new name given to the combined ballroom and Latin American dance styles. The new name was formed to reflect what our type of dancing is about. Not only is it a very physically demanding artform, it is one that includes teamwork and coordination.

Dancesport:

• Is a great source of social fun and enjoyment
• Allows students to meet and socialise across year levels
• Is a great way to achieve and maintain a high level of fitness
• Helps students develop their social skills
• Promotes an appreciation of different kinds of music
• Promotes social interaction and prevents 'clique' groups forming and students being left on their own.
• Is traditional, even in its modern form, and teaches students “old fashioned values”

Dancesport is now officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee.
