The Euro Dance Festival, a celebrated annual event, is set to return to Europa-Park Rust in 2025. This six-day extravaganza (February 13-18) is a gathering for the world's top dancers and an opportunity for participants to train and learn in various dance styles.

The festival features a diverse range of popular dance styles, including Discofox, Waltz, Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba, and Tango. Traditional dance styles remain popular at the event, with these five styles being mainstays on the festival's dance floor.

Matthias Blattmann, the director of the Euro Dance Festival at Europa-Park, attributes the continued popularity of these dance styles to TV shows such as "Let's Dance". He also notes that changing gender roles are reflected in dance at the festival.

In recent years, the traditional dynamic of men leading and women following in dance has softened. At the Euro Dance Festival, the terms "Leader" and "Follower" are often used in the West Coast Swing, allowing for role reversal. It is now more common to see two women or two men dancing together in Tango at the festival.

The Euro Dance Festival offers more than just performances. With nearly 500 workshops catering to various skill levels, the event provides a platform for dancers of all abilities to learn and grow.

However, there is no specific information available about Matthias Blattmann beyond his role as the festival's director. Despite this, his influence on the festival is evident, with his vision for inclusivity and adaptability shaping the Euro Dance Festival into a modern and welcoming event for all.

So, mark your calendars for February 2025, and get ready to dance the night away at the Euro Dance Festival in Europa-Park Rust. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a beginner, there's something for everyone at this vibrant and dynamic event.
