We are looking forward to the 11th training camp for Equality dance couples! Expect intensive training, lots of fun, new insights, and tired bones afterwards. The training camp is aimed at equality dance couples from Berlin, Germany, as well as internationally, whether you are a tournament couple (all classes) or a recreational dancer. Equality dance couples are: women* couples, men* couples, mixed couples with leading women* and all other constellations that don’t really fit to mainstream dancing. The training will usually be held in two languages (German/English). 

Join us for the annual festive equality dance competition in Frankfurt as part of the mutisport Christmas Tournament. Registration will open later in the year.
