Castellanza Becomes the Capital of World Dance: IDO World Championships Arrive in Italy!

Get ready, Italy—the world is coming to dance! From November 17th to 22nd, Castellanza will light up as it hosts the IDO World Championships in Show Dance, Acrobatic Dance, and Performing Arts Improvisation. Three electrifying disciplines, one stage, and dancers from across the globe competing for the most coveted titles in sports dance.

This is more than just a competition—it’s a historic return. After over three decades, Italy is once again home to the Show Dance World Championships, the last one held in 1985 in Montecatini Terme, thanks to CIBS and the legendary Moreno Polidori. Now, with the renewed vision of President Edilio Pagano, CIBS is bringing the magic back, promising an event of world-class energy.

With countries like Canada, Mexico, the USA, and nearly all of Europe already on board, excitement is building fast. The dream? To make Castellanza the Italian answer to Riesa—the legendary dance capital in Germany that set the gold standard for IDO events under the leadership of Michael Wendt.

For six unforgettable days, Castellanza will pulse with creativity, athleticism, and international unity. Thousands of dancers. One global celebration. Don’t miss your chance to witness this spectacular event, connect with the global dance family, and experience the next chapter of IDO history in the making.
