Which Competition Format is Right for You? 

Discover the Exclusive Danceful Vienna Experiences 

The Danceful Vienna Dance Festival isn’t just another ProAm event. It’s a celebration of passion, artistry, and the spirit of ballroom taken to an entirely new level. With four exclusive competition formats, each designed to inspire and challenge you in its own unique way, how do you decide which one is right for you? 

This is exactly what we’re going to find out today. Let’s break all new formats down so you can find the perfect match for your dance goals, personality, and style. 

  1. The ProAm Icons™ Championship 

For dancers who want to leave their legacy. 

The ProAm Icons™ Championship is your chance to shine on an open stage and compete for a title that lives on. Six finalist couples each year will become ProAm Icons™, their names recorded in the history of the event and on the official website for generations to come. Even more, the previous year’s Icons can skip the first round, honoring their status as living legends. 

If you’re looking to build a legacy and test yourself against the best, the Icons™ Championship could be your calling. 

  1. The Duel of Legends™ 

For those who thrive on adrenaline. 

Forget the usual elimination rounds. In the Duel of Legends™, you face off other couples at the same time, in a thrilling dance duel announced moments before you take the floor. Each round half of the participants will be eliminated. And the ones passing through to the next round, are decided by judges immediately. Duel of Legends is a true test of skill, endurance and pressure. 

This head-to-head format is exclusive to Danceful Vienna and brings an electrifying sense of challenge and excitement. If you love intense competition and rising to the moment, the Duel of Legends™ is made for you. 

  1. Viennese Waltz Masters™ 

For the romantics and lovers of tradition. 

Vienna is the birthplace of the waltz, and the Viennese Waltz Masters™ is your chance to write yourself into its rich story. Compete among the very best ProAm dancers, with the top six finalists immortalized in the event’s history books. 

As the ultimate honor, the champion will perform a solo victory dance to “The Blue Danube”, the waltz of waltzes. If you want to experience pure ballroom elegance in the heart of Vienna, there’s no better stage than the Viennese Waltz Masters™. 

  1. Uncontested Categories 

For dancers who value pure pleasure over competition. 

Not ready to compete? No problem. The Uncontested Categories let you take the floor in the same magnificent setting without being judged or ranked. You’ll dance among others who share the same love of movement, with a participation award to commemorate your performance. 

Whether you’re new to performing or trying to re-spark your love for dance without focusing on winning, this category offers you a chance to enjoy the thrill of performing while focusing on fun and connection, the Uncontested Categories are your perfect choice. 

So, Which Format Will You Choose? 

Whether you dream of becoming an Icon, crave the intensity of a one-on-one duel, long to waltz into history, or simply wish to savor the dance without the pressure of competition, Danceful Vienna offers a format tailored to you. Participation is not limited to one format only so you can try out as many as you like.
