20 couples – the international elite in a sport with unrivaled gender parity – take to the floor and demonstrate dancing’s unique blend of proper technique, dynamics and elegance during The World Games 2009 Kaohsiung. What needs to come across as an effortless succession of different steps and moves performed to music – in Latin, Standard as well as in Rock ‘n’ Roll – is in fact one of the hardest aerobic workouts.

Athletic prowess combines with pure artistry in the stunning performances on the parquet, regardless whether these are put to the 'Jailhouse Rock' or the 'Blue Danube'. DanceSport to the rhythm of time!

The most distinguishing features of Acrobatic Rock ‘n’ Roll are the lifts, jumps, throws and flips. In competition, two couples go head-to-head and try to outperform each other with a succession of high-difficulty elements such as the double somersault.
