Real People. Real Passion. Real Fun.

City’s Dancesport Challenge began with three unlikely co-conspirators:

Oscar took his first dance step at age 5 after battling pneumonia — turns out a little cha-cha was the best medicine.

Lenka is a Slovak tax lawyer who somehow knows nothing about numbers, but everything about people.

And Michael? He’s the wildcard — a creative force of nature with glitter in his hair and ten ideas before breakfast.

We built this event because we believe DANCE BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER — whether you're a competitor, a parent, a fan, or someone just curious about rhinestones and rhythm.

Set in the nostalgic magic of the TWA HOTEL during NYC’s MOST BEAUTIFUL SEASON, City’s Dancesport isn’t just a competition — IT’S A CELEBRATION. A day to laugh, connect, sparkle, and maybe even meet your next dance partner… or your next date (it’s happened!).

IF WE MADE IT HERE, ANYONE CAN. This is your moment — come be part of our community, take the floor, and make memories that mambo or waltz or samba or foxtrot or —you know what we mean… no reason to continue 😂
