The dance sport community Blau-Silber Gernsheim e. V. is a dance sport club with a focus on guard and show dance . TSG Blau-Silber's hometown is the Schöfferstadt Gernsheim , on the Hessian side of the Rhine between Worms and Mainz .
history
The tradition of the guard dance in Gernsheim goes back well into the 1950s. As was customary at this time, the guard dances, sometimes performed a little more and sometimes a little less seriously, adorned the local carnival events . This changed at the beginning of the 1990s when committed fast nights breathed new life into the guard dance, which was bobbing around at the time. They founded a dance sport club which, in addition to the carnival events, should also take part in tournament competitions and thus put the guard dance in Gernsheim on a sporting basis.
In this environment the dance sport community Blau-Silber was founded on May 2nd, 2001 as an alternative dance sport offer. The aim was to put more emphasis on the sporting aspects while maintaining modern and transparent club structures.
Awards and Achievements
In 2003 , the State of Hesse awarded TSG Blau-Silber the sponsorship award of the State Sports Association for the “exemplary association work that increases the reputation of sport in society” . The so-called Heinz Lindner Prize was presented at the Hessentag in Bad Arolsen .
Just one year after it was founded, TSG Blau-Silber presented the European champions in the guard dance of the couples in the school class. The club can now look back on numerous Hessian, German and European championship titles. The high point so far was the year 2007 with a total of eight German championship titles and six European championships.
