Formation dancing
In contrast to couple dance and solo dance, formation dancing is coordinated dancing by more than two people. In principle, formation dancing can be divided into two types. On the one hand there are formations of single dancers and on the other hand formations of couples. Formations of single dancers are z. B. in jazz modern dance and in the guard dance , as well as in hip hop, show dance and tap dance. Formations made up of couples either dance a single dance or a large number of dances of a similar nature.
Depending on the dances danced, it can in turn be subdivided into a variety of types. The most established in the German-speaking countries are the standard and Latin formations, which start in the leagues of the German Dance Sports Association (DTV). Ten-dance formations that dance all ten standard and Latin dances do not currently exist in Germany.
This article deals primarily with formation sports in the field of standard and Latin dances, as regulated by the DTV and the WDSF. Here a formation team consists of at least six and a maximum of eight pairs. A tournament is usually played with eight couples. Other formations that dance rock 'n' roll , boogie-woogie or jazz-modern dance are dealt with in the articles for the respective dances.
Characteristic
music
The music for standard and Latin tournament formations may not be longer than six minutes. It consists of marching in, main part and marching out, whereby only the main part is included in the rating. The main part must be between three and four and a half minutes. The marching in and out together may not be longer than a minute and a half, and the division is arbitrary. They are there to get the audience in the mood for the respective topic, but are not included in the evaluation by the jury. The individual parts are separated from each other by an acoustic signal, usually by striking a gong.
As a rule, the music is an arrangement of well-known pieces of music that are adapted to the respective dance by editing. Every formation music has a theme, such as B. the name of a music group from which the pieces originate, or a topic such as "Gipsy" (English " Gypsy "), " Swing " or " Cuba ". Basically, there are no limits to the choice of music for the choreographer, as long as the music chosen corresponds to the characteristics of the respective dances.
The production of such formation music can cost up to 15,000 euros and more if it is played by an orchestra to suit the needs of a formation. This is mainly practiced by financially strong clubs in the national leagues, who rent them out to other teams in the lower leagues for refinancing in the following years. Formation music that has been edited together, on the other hand, is much cheaper and can - depending on the musical knowledge and technical knowledge - be created in-house. Since the workload and the necessary experience to create a cut music is not insignificant, however, in clubs of all sizes, rented music is often used.
photos
By changing the dance positions, so-called pictures are created. The judges see, for example, lozenges , diamonds , lines , circles , rows and diagonals . The image development makes up a large part of the choreographic performance, as the effect of the steps and poses also depends heavily on the images. All parts must be coordinated with one another.
Typical dance features
In addition to the usual figures of a dance, there are special ones that only appear in formation performances. In Latin formations, this includes, in addition to other effects, the roundabout , also as a hiking roundabout and with floor wipers , pirouettes , Lankenaus , chain reactions , the so-called Velberter Rose , Potstirrer and the wind , whose good execution quality is very effective for the public. Men's solos are also very popular because of the mostly dark clothing and the light parquet, as the synchronicity is particularly easy to recognize here. Lifting figures are also allowed when marching in and out .
dress
In the area of the standard formations, a tailcoat or vest in black or midnight blue is required for all men . In the Latin area, the gentlemen are usually dressed in black, as this is the greatest contrast to the light parquet and the pictures are easier to see. However, the rules are more liberal here. The dancers only have to be dressed uniformly. The ladies are allowed to wear different clothes within the framework of the dress code of the tournament and sports regulations of the DTV, but this is only rarely the case.
rating
The judges evaluate the performance of the teams relative to each other using a point system. There are four scoring areas available to you, which, in contrast to the scoring system for individual competitions, are equally important.
- Music - All dancers must follow the rhythm and beat of the music. All movements should be carried out at the same time. The music itself (i.e. the selection of the pieces of music) is not rated.
- Dancing performance - the average performance of the formation is counted. So all dancers / couples should dance at a similar level. Transitions between images should be danced and not walked with figures typical of dance.
- Execution of the choreography - We want straight lines and round circles, harmonious and “easily legible” transitions between the images . The division of the team in the room should be balanced around the center and the central axes within the choreography. The area should be used completely.
- Continuity and characteristics - the dances should be recognizable from the first bar on the basis of their characteristic movements. The entire lecture should be shown continuously without unnecessary stops. Exceptions are poses that are used as "gossip breaks".
In the preliminary round, the scores are given face down, and the teams are divided into a large and a small final. Each final is then evaluated individually with open place recommendations, from which the final place results by applying the majority system . Exceptions are the German championship as well as the World Cup and EM, where a preliminary, intermediate and final round is danced. The latter is then also counted openly.
Competitions
League structure in Germany
The league system of the German Dance Sports Association is unique worldwide and is divided into three league areas: North, West and South. In the five-tier Latin area, it ranges from the national leagues through the upper and regional leagues of the individual league areas to the 2nd and 1st Bundesliga, which are single-track. In the standard area, the tournaments only start in the upper or regional league, as the number of teams is lower overall. The regional leagues in the north and west have also been merged because there were not enough participants. Since formation dancing was only practiced occasionally in the new federal states, the creation of a separate league area in the east was previously not sensible due to a lack of participants, so that clubs from these areas were assigned to the league areas north (e.g. Berlin) or south (e.g. Thuringia) have been. In addition, the western division only consists of the North Rhine-Westphalian state association (TNW).
It can be observed that in the south it tends to be more standard and in the north it tends to be Latin, and the performance density is higher there.
As a rule, five tournaments are danced (in the league area south there are sometimes seven or eight) with all teams in a league group, which if possible consists of eight teams. At the end of the fifth tournament, the teams are sorted according to the sum of their results and either rise directly or take part in promotion tournaments. Relegation is direct in all leagues, i. This means that there are no real relegation tournaments. The exact number of promoters and relegators depends on the number of teams and is determined annually by the DTV sports supervisor.
The highlight of the season is the German Formation Championship, to which the teams of the 1st Bundesliga (Standard and Latin) are entitled to participate. It should be noted here that the performance in the 1st Bundesliga as table leader does not yet crown the German champions. Apart from the award of the national title, there is also a dispute about the starting positions in the international competitions of the WDSF .
In the 2006/07 season, 145 Latin formations from 90 clubs and 38 standard formations from 29 clubs danced. The largest clubs were the Green-Gold-Club Bremen with five Latin formations as well as the TSC Rot-Gold-Casino Nürnberg and the Aachener TSC Blue-Silver with four starting Latin teams each.
In the 2008/09 season the GGC Bremen was the largest club with 7 Latin formations.
The following "league pyramids" show the structure of the German league system of the 2008/09 season of the DTV. The current table status and the dates of the tournaments of all leagues can be viewed on the official website of the German Dance Sport Association.

National competitions of the DTV
In addition to the league operations, the German championship is held once a year in the form of a single tournament. It is also the opening tournament of a season and is used by many teams to present new choreographies for the upcoming Bundesliga tournaments. All teams of the 1st national leagues are eligible to participate in their respective dance style. This is how the promoted players from the 2nd Bundesliga start and have to measure themselves against the competition from the 1st division.
The first and second of the championships are listed here.

Competitive structure in Austria
The current Austrian league system has existed since January 1, 2009 and is divided into the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga. Formations with a start card from the Austrian Dance Sports Association (ÖTSV) are eligible to start in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga . The Hobby League replaces the mass sports tournaments held until the end of 2008, here all formations are allowed to start without a starting card. The team in the 2nd Bundesliga, which is in first place at the end of the season, is automatically promoted to the first division. The team in the 1st Bundesliga that is in last place is automatically relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga. However, relegation will only take place if at least six teams remain in the 1st Bundesliga at the end of the season, including the promoted teams.
Currently (as of 2019) TSC Schwarz Gold (A-Team, B-Team and C-Team), HSV Zwölfaxing (A-Team and B-Team) and UFTSC Perchtoldsdorf are in the 1st Latin Bundesliga. Teams from the following clubs, among others, are currently represented in the 2nd Bundesliga Latin: HSV Zwölfaxing, TSC blau-green Wien, TSC Dancefire Wiener Neustadt, UFTSC Perchtoldsdorf, TSC Rot-Weiss Wien and TSK Wienerwald Mödling. TSK Juventus, TSC Schwarz Gold (A-Team and B-Team) and TSK Wienerwald Mödling dance in the Bundesliga Standard.
In addition, a national championship of formations takes place every year. The previous Austrian state champions in the Latin class included the UTSC Forum Vienna (1991, 1993, 1999–2003), the 1st SFTC Rot-Weiss 90, Salzburg (1992, 1994–1997), the HSV-Zwölfaxing (2004–2003) 2015, 2018, 2019) and the TSC Schwarz Gold (2016, 2017). An Austrian championship has been held for the teams in the Bundesliga Standard since 2016. The Austrian championship title of the formations Standard was won by TSC Schwarz Gold in 2016 and 2018, in 2017 the title went to TSK Wienerwald Mödling, in 2019 TSK Juventus took first place.
Internationally, HSV-Zwölfaxing and TSC Schwarz Gold achieved some finals at European and World Championships. HSV-Zwölfaxing took 6th place at the 2008 European Championships and 5th at the 2015 World Championships in Wiener Neustadt and the 2012 European Championships. The TSC Schwarz Gold danced its way to the finals several times at European championships between 2010 and 2014 and also made it to the finals at a world championship in 2015. In the past, TSC blau-green Wien took 14th place at the 2008 World Cup and 8th place at the 2009 European Championships in Vilnius.
The overall winner of the (1st) Bundesliga and the winner of the national championship may take part in the European and World Championships. If the national champion and the winner of the Bundesliga are the same team, then the second-placed player from the Bundesliga may also be sent to international championships.
Austrian State Championship of Formations
The Austrian championships for the disciplines standard and Latin take place in a joint event with the championship freestyle (show dance). The first three teams of the State Championship Latin and the Austrian Championship Standard are listed here. This championship takes place annually in May / June and is the last tournament of the Bundesliga season. This is where the teams that have the opportunity to take part in international championships in the following season are decided.

International competitions of the WDSF
The international competitions of the World Dance Sport Federation (WDSF) were clearly dominated by German teams (especially TSG Bremerhaven ) until the end of the 1990s . After the fall of the iron curtain, many German coaches went to Eastern Europe and had a decisive influence there in building formations, so that the teams there became stronger and stronger. After four dominant years for the team from Lithuania, the Green Gold Club Bremen was able to bring the world championship title (Latin) back to Germany in 2006 .
Although the international championships such as the European Championship and World Cup are organized by the WDSF, which today has 80 national member associations on five continents, the participating teams mainly come from Central and Eastern Europe. For example, at the 2006 World Cup in Bremen (Latin) and Moscow (Standard), teams from the following nations represented their home countries:
Latin | default |
---|---|
|
|
24 teams from 14 nations | 18 teams from 11 nations |
(*) represented by two teams |
As a result, there is practically no difference in the field of participants in the World and European Championships in both the Latin and the standard area, so that the respective top teams meet twice a year.
The dates of the events are usually in autumn or spring and are therefore not always ideally integrated into the season of the German league system.
World Championship
World championships have been held since 1973. In the Latin area, TSG Bremerhaven has since won 14 titles, followed by the Green Gold Club Bremen with ten titles and the Klaipėda University Team Žuvėdra , which has won seven times. In the standard area, the formation of the 1st dance club in Ludwigsburg won eleven titles, followed by the team from the Braunschweig TSC with ten championships.

Formation dance in other countries
Netherlands
In the Netherlands, formation sports tournaments are organized by the Nederlandse Algemene Danssport Bond (NADB). Reigning Dutch champions are the DSV Sway of Life team (standard) and the record champions are the Double V team from Hoorn (Latin).
Switzerland
No organized formation sport tournaments are held in Switzerland.
Shows
In addition to the tournament sport, many formations also dance shows. Information on this can be obtained from the formations themselves. It is this income and sponsorship money that make cost-intensive formation sport possible.
