About the Ballroom Championship

01 / 10

An international ballroom championship in Langxi, Anhui Province, China — 4–6 December 2026. Forty-two competition categories, dancers from more than 30 countries and a $200,000 prize fund, held under the guidance of the Anhui Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and the Chinese Culture Promotion Society.

CPA World Cup — Dream of Asia is the international final of the Asia-Europe Dream Culture & Arts Dance Festival. Forty-two categories Latin and Standard, from Under-8 solos and junior groups to Rising Star, Pro-Am, Asia-Pacific and the World Cup Professional titles, alongside Show Dance and the “Dragon Dream” international team match.

The championship is guided by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Anhui Province and the Chinese Culture Promotion Society, and hosted by the Society’s Art Level Examination Committee together with the People’s Government of Langxi County. International partners are the World Federation of Acrobatic and Dance Sports (WFADS)

Three days of competition, a $200,000 prize fund and an international adjudication panel — set in Langxi, the county China calls the home of its green tea, between the Langchuan river and the ridges of southern Anhui.

Competitors from more than thirty countries have crossed mountains and seas to bring their own colours and their finest technique to this floor. Whether you dance for the title or for the resonance of the art itself, the Organizing Committee welcomes you to Langxi — and hopes that, once the competition releases you, you will go and see the country around it.
