Since 2012, the Winter Dance Festival has been an important highlight in the competition calendar for young dancers. The traditional competition, which was first held in 1978 as the ‘TNW-Pokal’ (North Rhine-Westphalian Dance Sport Cup), can therefore look back on a long history.

At this year’s edition, the organizing team is once again expecting many participants from Germany and around the world. 12 WDSF competitions with international participants and 58 open national competitions (DTV) of allmost all age groups in the Standard and Latin American dances for couples and soloists of the Children, Juniors I/II, Youth, Rising Stars and Main Group are on the competition schedule.
