Welcoming new experiences this year, International Dance Shoes will be exhibiting at the the 2025 WDSF DanceSport Festival! Join us from April 11th to 13th at the historic Winter Gardens in Blackpool, for the long-awaited return of WDSF events to this iconic venue.
Welcoming WDSF Dancers to Blackpool
The Winter Gardens in Blackpool has long been a dream destination for dancers worldwide, cherished for its rich history and electrifying atmosphere. With the launch of the WDSF DanceSport Festival, a new chapter is unfolding—and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome WDSF dancers to the UK for what promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or making your debut, this festival is your chance to feel the magic of dancing at the legendary Empress Ballroom—and we’ll be right there with you!
The event will feature the first Grand Slam Series of the year, along with Rising Stars, Professional Latin, and Standard categories—setting the stage for an action-packed weekend filled with incredible talent and thrilling performances.
Discover International Dance Shoes
Since we don’t often have the chance to connect with the WDSF community in person, this festival is the perfect opportunity to learn more about us and our shoes. From our best-selling competition heels to practice essentials, our team will be on hand to help you find the perfect fit and answer any questions you might have.
If you’re new to International Dance Shoes, we invite you to explore our collection and discover why we’re trusted by dancers worldwide—from rising stars to World Champions!
Where to Find Us at the Festival
We will be exhibiting at The Arena Bar which is just a few steps away from the iconic dancefloor.
