Dancing as a popular sport

The Swiss Dance Association SDSC organises popular sport tournaments for children and adults in standard and Latin American dances and Discofox. Whether you are an amateur dancer looking to gain your first tournament experience or want to compete with other dance enthusiasts - you will find the right stage with us. From regional competitions to the Swiss championships, there are numerous opportunities to demonstrate your skills and collect points for the annual ranking list.

We focus on the joy of dancing and the fun of movement. Every dancer can develop freely.

Our tournaments are judged by experienced professionals, so that fair and competent judgements are guaranteed. Dancing should first and foremost inspire - and that's exactly what we live at the SDSC!

Star Series

The series of youth tournaments for under 18 year old kids and teens!

In this series, young people up to the age of 12 dance in the school class, from 12 to 16 in the junior class and from 16 to 18 in the youth class. There are two different levels. Beginners dance in the Hobby category and advanced dancers in the Rising Stars category.

Hobby couples dance 5 dances: English Waltz, Tango, Samba, Cha Cha Cha and Jive. The couples in the Rising Stars category dance English Waltz, Tango, Quickstep, Samba, Cha Cha Cha, Paso doble and Jive.
