ETDS stands for "European Tournament for Dancing Students" and describes tournamens which take place twice a year (at whitsun and in autumn). About 450 participiants come together and compete in latin and ballroom dancing in three breitensport classes and the "open" class for former breitensport members.

The whole event starts on Friday evening with a blind date party (if you want to dance with someone else than your usual partner) and ends on Monday morning with the breakfast. During the event, there are the tournaments, a theme party and a ball with the award ceremony. Usually the participiants sleep in a sports hall. [more...]

Theme Party

The theme for the Saturday evening party is "bad taste", so ask someone for the ugliest clothes in his or her wardrobe (of course you don't have such clothes by your own...)

Food

We will have a simple potato salad with sausages for supper on Friday, a breakfast and a lunch on Saturday and Sunday, then it is planed to have some cake in the afternoon and a gala dinner on Sunday. At Saturday evening, we suggest to use a pizza service, which we will organise. The last meal will be the breakfast on Monday. Important: as usual, please bring your own dishes and cutlery. There will be a possibility to wash, so don't forget a dishtowel!
