history

The association was founded in 1932. On November 29, 1932, it was entered in the register of associations , initially as the Grün-Gold dance club . The dance club was initially located in the Gertrud Ehlers dance school in downtown Bremen.

After the Second World War, the club was renamed Grün-Gold-Club e. V. Renamed Bremen . After several moves, the Grün-Gold-Club Bremen moved into a club home in Oberneuland on June 2, 1962. In 2019, the location in Oberneuland was given up and premises in Hastedt were moved into.

In 1964 the Grün-Gold-Club Bremen founded the State Dance Association of Bremen together with the TTK Grün-Weiß Vegesack.

On January 9th, 2002 the Green-Gold-Club Bremen and TSC Schwarz-Silber Bremen merged. The name of the Green-Gold Club was retained. Both partners were able to benefit from the merger: two Latin formations of the TSC Schwarz-Silber started in the 2nd Bundesliga, the individual pairs of the club danced successfully at the state championships. The Grün-Gold-Club, on the other hand, has been holding major events for several decades and has therefore worked closely with sponsors. This enabled long-term sporting planning, especially for the formations of the TSC Schwarz-Silber, while for the Grün-Gold-Club Bremen also the offspring of the TSC Schwarz-Silber, which they could recruit more easily due to the central location and the cooperation with the dance school Stölting , was interesting.

With the merger of the two dance clubs, formation dancing got a higher priority at the Grün-Gold-Club. The main focus of TSC Schwarz-Silber Bremen, which was founded on November 11, 1975 and emerged from the dance club Schwarz-Silber of the Klug dance school, was on formation dancing.

Today the Grün-Gold-Club Bremen works closely with the Tanzarena, a dance school in downtown Bremen. The dance school runs under the direction of Roberto Albanese, Uta Albanese and Ute Logemann. It promotes young talent for the club.
