German Open Championships
The German Open Championships (GOC) in dance sport are an annual major tournament of international importance. The German Open was held in Mannheim's Rosengarten from 1987, and since moving to Stuttgart in 2004 it has been held in the Liederhalle (KKL) culture and congress center there. The GOC is meanwhile the tournament with the largest starting field worldwide.
The GOC is likely to be the most international sporting event on German soil, unless the Olympic Games are taking place in Germany.
Competition dancers among the amateurs and professionals in Latin American and standard dances compete at the GOC at the highest international level, in their respective age groups Juveniles (up to 11 years), Juniors I (12–13), Juniors II (14–15), Youth (16-18), Adults (over 18), Seniors (from 35), Seniors II (from 45), Seniors III (from 55), Seniors IV (from 65) and professionals (no age requirement). Since 2005, the GOC has also hosted boogie-woogie competitions in the Main Class, Seniors and Juniors groups.
Selected tournaments have been broadcast live on SWR television for years .
2011 was a record year for the GOC: a total of 4,209 dance couples started. An average of 4,000 visitors visited the GOC every day.
