20/02/2024 read more ...Czechs and Slovaks have been one of the leaders of the European competitive dance in the period between the two world wars. From 1918-1992 these two nations formed Czechoslovakia.
The first amateur dance club was founded in Prague on the 17th September 1923 – the aim was to develop sportive dance. Three years later, a national dance organization was founded. During the 1930’s, a number of World and European championships were held in Czechoslovakia and in 1935, FIDA, the first European Dance Federation, was founded there.
The Czech Dancesport Federation, represented by vice president Filip Karásek, and Slovak Dancesport Federation, represented by president Peter Ivanic, celebrated the 100-year anniversary together on Tuesday 5th September.
Special guests of the celebration event were WDSF VP for Sports Mr. Nenad Jeftić and Mr. Anton Siekel – President of the Slovak Olympic and Sports Council.
The anniversary was celebrated in an equally unique way: with a modern multigenre exhibition “100 Years of Dancesport”. The exhibition was installed in the recently renovated and reopened Slovak Olympic and Sport Museum in Bratislava. It provides a view of the development of the dance sport in the period between the two world wars and federal Czechoslovakia, and also presents 65 years of Slovak competitive dance. The Slovak Dancesport Federation is structured as an umbrella federation, through its departments: Dancesport, Breaking, IDO and modern disciplines, Rock and Roll and Paradancesport.
The exhibition was graphically designed by the excellent Slovak dancesport photographer Mr. Jozef Harangozó. Four videoprojections were written by Mr. Marko Haring and directed by Ms. Eli Urminová.
Mr. Petr Horáček – Chair of WDSF Historical Committee – is an expert consultant and a curator of the exhibition.
The museum exhibition is the first of its kind in the world and will be open for two months in September and October 2023. We welcome all of you to visit!
