From Paris 2024 to Dakar 2026: Let’s Move as One this Olympic Day!

From Paris 2024 to Dakar 2026: Let’s Move as One this Olympic Day!

Today, June 23rd, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) proudly stands alongside the global Olympic community and our extraordinary athletes to celebrate the Olympic Day.

DanceSport possesses a unique, transformative power, it breaks down barriers, silences self-doubt, and unites people from all corners of the world through a shared passion. It is a universal language rooted in the fundamental Olympic values of unity, respect, and joy.

Our journey within the Olympic Movement continues to break new ground. Following the historic and unforgettable debut of Breaking at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the energy of our community is stronger than ever. Today, our eyes are firmly set on the future as we prepare for the upcoming Youth Olympic Games in Dakar this November, where the next generation of athletes will showcase the spirit and rhythm of our sport on the world stage.

To our athletes: you are the heartbeat of this movement. Your dedication, resilience, and artistry inspire us every single day. The WDSF remains fully committed to our mission: to support, empower, and champion each of you as you overcome obstacles and relentlessly pursue your dreams.

"As we look back at our milestone achievements and ahead to the bright future of our sport, I want to express my deepest gratitude to our entire global family, athletes, coaches, officials, and fans. Your passion is what keeps the Olympic flame burning bright within DanceSport. Together, we are not just witnessing history; we are actively shaping a more inclusive, vibrant, and dynamic sporting world for generations to come." Shawn Tay, WDSF President

No matter where you are dancing from today, let's celebrate this day by leaving doubts behind and moving forward together.

Happy Olympic Day to the entire Olympic and DanceSport community!
