The
International Dance Festival in Ústí
nad Labem is the biggest, oldest and
most famous dance event in the Czech Republic with a
tradition of 30 years featuring competitions in various
dance categories. Over 500 participants regularly take
part in this festival held annually in November. In
addition, the final rounds are broadcast by all major
national TV stations.
‘For
years now I have observed the development of dance as
a sport in this country with great interest and I
have made many friends from many lands. Today I am
very happy about the permanent continuation of this
traditional event in Ústí nad Labem despite the
sometimes difficult conditions. I extend my thanks
and praise to the organizers of this 25th anniversary
festival. The Central European Standard Championship,
held here in the heart of Europe, may be an important
signal for future success in the development of
"friendship through dance"’.

‘I
admire the Albis Culture Centre in Ústí nad Labem
to organize this anniversary event for the 27th time.
This Festival has a proud tradition and takes an
important place of dance sport in this part of
Europe. The IDSF Presidium did not hesitate to grant
the Central European Championships to Ústí nad
Labem once more again as we are convinced of a
perfect organization which was experienced in 1994
(Central European Standard Championship) and 1995
(Central European Latin Championship).’
