Tasmanian DanceSport Championship

2023 was the 11th 7 Tasmania Open DanceSport Championships

Our aim was to ensure the return of entrants from across Australia, encourage other travellers to visit Tasmania and of course to fill the audience not just for ticket sales, but also because dancers love the atmosphere created by a large audience which isn’t always available at other Competitions around the country. This saw a tempering of competitor numbers (as planned due to time constraints) but a slight lift in the number of interstate attendees.
