Welcome to Dancesport Scotland, which was originally founded in 1945. In conjunction with Sport Scotland we are the recognised governing body for Ballroom and Latin American dancing in Scotland. Our aim is to promote Ballroom and Latin American dancing, for both social and competitive levels, by organising competition days for all ages and grades and dance workshops to help couples improve. Our annual Grand Finale and flagship event is the Scottish Closed Championships held annually in December. We also provide support and representation for Scotland on the world stage in competitions such as the European and World Championships.
We hope that visiting our website will provide you with all the latest information you need to know regarding upcoming competitions and events organised by Dancesport Scotland. Our ‘Social Dance Clubs’ section will let you know of other events being run that may be of interest to you.
Our ‘Professional Teachers’ section holds an extensive list of dance schools throughout Scotland helping to make it easier for current and future enthusiasts to find a place to dance locally.
