Footloose participates every year in dance tournaments for and by students, like the Dutch Tournament for Dancing Students (NTDS). This event is organized annually by one of the Dutch student dance associations. It is a whole weekend of dancing and having fun with students from all corners of the country.

The tournament consists of a ‘knitting sport’ class, accessible to everyone (up to a maximum level), and an ‘open’ class, in which the advanced competition dancers can participate. Saturdays presents the knitting sport in the theme of ballroom, and latin is performed on Sundays. In the evening there are themed or gala parties, where you can dance and party until the early morning hours.

With a NTDS, socializing is the most important and competition results are only a nice extra. With every NTDS people participate in all kinds of courses, from beginners to top class. You are divided into a level that fits well with your dance experience. And if you do not feel like competing, you can always go along as a supporter or volunteer. They often end up having the most fun of all!
