The competition, which has grown since last year, is establishing itself as a key event for sports dancing in Galicia. The event was presented today at the Provincial Palace with the participation of the Deputy for Sports, Antonio Leira; the Deputy for Youth, Yoya Neira; the Councilor for Sports of A Coruña, Manuel Vázquez; and Sandra García, representative of the Un Paso Adelante academy in Narón.
Athletes from Galicia, Madrid, Valencia, and Portugal will compete. Among them are world champions in choreographic dance and top national-level couples. The program includes competitions in Latin dances and choreographic dance in solo, pair, and group categories, for various ages and levels, following the regulations of the Spanish Dance Sports Federation.
“"Exceeding 300 participants in the second edition is magnificent news and shows that this Championship has a future. From the Provincial Council, we want to support all sports disciplines, even those with less visibility, but behind which there is great talent, effort, and people working daily to grow."
Antonio Leira highlighted the competition's growth and the importance of supporting disciplines with high sporting standards but less media presence. He noted that hosting this competition positions A Coruña as a venue for major sporting events and offers local clubs the opportunity to compete with top-level athletes.
“"Having world champions and reference athletes in our province is a source of pride and an incentive for all the clubs and schools that work daily to promote sports dancing."
Admission will be free for the public, who can attend the Pazo dos Deportes de Riazor throughout Saturday to discover a discipline that combines technique, coordination, artistic expression, and physical demand. Deputy Yoya Neira encouraged citizens to attend, emphasizing that free entry opens doors to new audiences and showcases the hard work of dance clubs and schools.
