We will be running this year’s Championship as long as the COVID-19 alert level remains at level 1. Please note that COVID tracing will still be required and we encourage the use of good hand hygiene.
We’re excited to be bringing you the 71st Championship event, being held on Labour Weekend (23 – 24 October 2021) at Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua, Wellington.
Rich in history and with national titles up for grabs, this is the main event on the New Zealand dance-sport calendar.
We are proud to run this event under the Freedom to Dance banner. 
If you’re involved in dance or just love to watch it, you’ll want to join us for two days of spectacular dancing across all three styles of dancesport: Ballroom, New Vogue and Latin American.
his competition will run under the rules of the New Zealand Recreational Dance Inc. (NZRDI)
Hei konā mai!
