WDSF and FIDESM Sign Three-Year Agreement to Host WDSF GrandSlam Series Leg in Rome
The World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) is proud to announce the signing of a three-year agreement with the Federazione Italiana Danzasportiva e Sport Musicali (FIDESM) to host one leg of the WDSF GrandSlam Series in Rome, Italy, in 2025, 2026, and 2027.
The inaugural event under this agreement is scheduled for 4th and 5th October 2025 at the iconic PalaTiziano, a modern venue with excellent accessibility, hospitality infrastructure, and a vibrant atmosphere. Located just 40 minutes from Ciampino and Fiumicino airports, and surrounded by a wide range of accommodations, the venue reflects the professionalism and ambition of the organizing committee.
A city renowned for its history, art, and timeless beauty, Rome will now add another chapter to its legacy—hosting some of the world’s best DanceSport athletes as they compete at the highest level of the sport.
WDSF President Mr. Shawn Tay welcomed the partnership:
“Italy has long been a stronghold of DanceSport, and we are thrilled to bring the GrandSlam Series to its capital city. With the support of FIDESM and our valued partners, we are confident this event will be a spectacular celebration of DanceSport excellence. This agreement reinforces our shared commitment to excellence and long-term vision for the sport.”
FIDESM President Prof. Laura Lunetta also expressed her enthusiasm:
“I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to host such a prestigious event, and we are fully committed to ensuring its success.”
The inclusion of Rome completes the 2025 WDSF GrandSlam calendar, which already features stops in Blackpool, Wuxi, Stuttgart, and Shanghai. This global lineup celebrates the growing reach and universal appeal of DanceSport across continents.
The Rome GrandSlam will continue to benefit from the invaluable support of BD Dance as the Official Sponsor, Casa musica as the Official Music Provider, and Olympic Channel as the International Broadcasting Partner. Together, they help deliver a world-class DanceSport experience with unmatched performance, sound, and global visibility.
WDSF looks forward to an exciting new chapter in the Eternal City and invites the global DanceSport community to join us in Rome—this October and in the years to come.
