Latin formations
The first Latin formation of TSC Astoria Tübingen started in the 1985/1986 season in the South Latin Regionalliga. By 1990 two more Latin teams followed, which also started in league competitions.

The team also won the 2nd Bundesliga Standard straight away and was promoted to the 1st Bundesliga Standard.
From the 1994/1995 season to the withdrawal of TSC Astoria Tübingen from the tournament in 2002, the club's A team danced uninterruptedly in the 1st Bundesliga standard.
In April 1994 a second standard formation was established with the B-Team, followed in October of that year by the C-Team. Both teams initially started in the Oberliga Süd Standard. The B-Team was promoted to the Regionalliga Süd Standard in the first season 1994/1995, the C-Team was promoted to the Regionalliga Süd in the 1995/1996 season. In the 1996/1997 season, the B and C teams of TSC Astoria Tübingen took 1st and 2nd place in the Regionalliga Süd, in the promotion tournament to the 2nd Bundesliga Standard, the B team then reached 1st place and thus rose to the 2nd Bundesliga up, the C-Team reached 3rd place.

Retreat of the formations
In the summer of 2002 the club committee of TSC Astoria Tübingen decided to close the formation dancing division and to no longer compete in league competitions (A- and B-team standard in the Bundesliga and C-team standard in the regional league) to let.
The reasons for the withdrawal include the lack of usability of the planned TüArena for dance sport, the lack of training opportunities in the Tübingen area and the progress of several active dancers to the 1st TC Ludwigsburg in recent years. Furthermore, the previous trainer and choreographer of the A and B teams, Fikret Bilge, on whose work the formation concept of the club was based, would only be available to the club to a limited extent.
With the withdrawal of the two teams from the 1st Bundesliga Standard, the third and fourth-placed teams from the 2nd Bundesliga Standard, the A-Team of the TC Rot-Weiss Casino Mainz and the A-Team of the TC moved forward for the 2002/2003 season The Frankfurter Kreis in the 1st Bundesliga after.
