LOCATION
The Ballroom dancing tournament will be held on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 July 2022 in the “Concertgebouw de Vereeniging”. This venue has seen multiple dance competitions in the past. Between 2014 and 2019, “de Vereeniging” was completely renovated, providing a grand ballroom, restaurants, and dressing rooms in a luxurious style.
AMBASSADOR
Euvgenia Parakhina
To be the ambassador for Dance at the EuroGames 2022 is a great honor for me.
I have been dancing since I was a young child and I know better than anyone how dancing connects people, regardless of race, color, or sexual orientation. Dancing is a language that everyone knows and can use.
Of course, in a competition, in the end, it’s all about who wins. Despite that, I hope everyone shines on the dance floor and that the best person wins!
RULES
The tournament will be held and judged according ESSDA classifications and rules.
COOPERATION
We are organising this competition in cooperation with NADB (Nederlandse Algemene Danssport Bond) and ESSDA (European Same-sex Dance Association).
INCLUSIVENESS
All same-sex couples
