International Dance Festival 2025 – A Celebration of Ballroom and Latin

Every October, the International Dance Festival unites the world of Ballroom and Latin in one of the most prestigious events on the global dance calendar. With roots stretching back decades, the Festival is both a stage for competition excellence and a gathering of the international dance community.

1st October 2025


From Gillingham to the Royal Albert Hall
The Festival begins with five days of competition in Gillingham (4–8 October), where Amateur, Professional, Pro-Am, and dancers of all ages take to the floor in a wide range of categories. Every round builds momentum towards the grand finale at The Royal Albert Hall (9 October), an iconic venue whose history and grandeur perfectly frame the artistry and athleticism of world-class dancing.
 
Four Major Finals in One Night
The Royal Albert Hall evening is unique in the dance world. On a single night, audiences witness the pinnacle of Ballroom and Latin competition:
• Amateur Ballroom Final
• Amateur Latin Final
• Professional Ballroom Final
• Professional Latin Final
 
A Historic Musical Farewell
This year’s Festival will also mark a poignant milestone: the final live performance of Ross Mitchell, who has delighted audiences for decades with his thrilling music. His contribution has been central to the atmosphere of the International, and his farewell promises to be an unforgettable moment in dance history.
