Dear Dancers and Spectators,

It is with great joy and heartfelt pride that we welcome you to the 45th Anniversary of The Ball at the San Francisco Open Dancesport Championships.

In one of the most iconic cities in the world, we gather not only to celebrate the elegance and artistry of ballroom dance, but also to honor 45 remarkable years of tradition, passion, and community. Since its inception, The SFopen has been a shining jewel in the world of competitive dance—bringing together dancers from across the globe to share their love of movement, music, and mastery.

To mark this special occasion, we are honored to present a live orchestra—infusing the evening with a timeless energy and transporting us back to the golden age of ballroom dance.

As the music swells and the lights dim, let this night be a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present, and a joyful step into the future of ballroom dance.

Let the dance begin!

 With warmest regards,

Stephan - Denise & Colin
