The Ackermans Open Dance Regional Championship Series will be presented in an identical format in all regions covering genres such as ballroom and Latin American dance, which includes rumba, cha-cha, foxtrot, waltz and the quick step. Hip hop will also feature in the competition categories.
Dance Sport is an art that allows self-expression, whilst promoting discipline and the commitment to strive for excellence.
The Ackermans Shine Award is aimed at rewarding the dancer that presents the most potential. The winner of this accolade may not necessarily be the best dancer, but rather the individual that exemplifies the enthusiasm, ingenuity, artistry and the passion to be the best.

Saturday, 24 April: Emperors Palace, Johannesburg
Friday, 28 May: Sibaya Casino, Durban
