What used to be called Competitive Ballroom is now Dancesport, with the rise of TV promotions and the like.

While participants age from 4 to 94 this is not for the feint hearted, it requires a certain amount of stamina in fact the governing body for DanceSport (World Dance Sport)  refers to all their participants as “athletes”.

Strength, Stamina and a real competitive spirit is the underlying necessity for this area.
