DANCESPORT

Dancesport – Competition Dancing

StudioDKP has a large and extremely successful Dancesport team.  We have NZ and Australian Champions in Amateur and Professional divisions. Dancesport is the competitive arm of traditional Ballroom dancing and covers three styles in New Zealand.

• International Standard (Ballroom Dancing)
• International Latin American
• New Vogue (Sequence dancing only danced in NZ and Australia)

You can find a little bit more information on these styles by clicking here.

Age Groups

Dancesport is categorised in NZ by age groups for Amateur dancers.  In addition there is a category for Professional dancers.

• Juvenille – 1 to 12 years
• Junior – 13 to 15 years
• Youth – 16 to 20 years
• Adult – 21 – 34 years
• Masters 1 – 35 to 49 years
• Masters 2 – 50+

In addition these are divided into grades ranging from A – D and Open Grade. In NZ this is governed by the NZ Recreational Dance Dance (NZRDI) council under their Dancesport Division.

Is Dancesport for me?

Absolutely!  Dancesport is for anyone who is learning social or medal levels and you do not require a partner, as they do have a solo division as well.  In addition you don’t have to dance graded, you can start as a Recreational competitor, which means you don’t require tails suits or ballroom or latin dresses.

Additional Opportunities

Team trips– We regularly travel to competitions around NZ and in Australia.  In addition some of our top dancers dance in UK, Europe and Asia.

Great family – We are ‘e te whānau kanikani‘, a dancing family.  See what some of our team members have to say about being a a part of the Dancesport Team.
