The annual River City Dancesport Championships will be held at the Whanganui War Memorial Centre on Saturday, May 5.
Formerly known as Ballroom Dancing, the event still encompasses the styles of Standard, Latin American and New Vogue.
Quickly becoming one of the most popular provincial Dancesport competitions in NZ it attracts competitors from Whangarei in the north to as far south as Nelson.
The Whanganui War Memorial Centre, having a sprung floor, is a big drawcard for dancers.
The date for this year's event has been brought forward because the centre is closing for earthquake strengthening.
