The Open World Swing Dance Championships is considered the most challenging and exciting swing competition in the world. The “Best of the Best” from all corners of the globe come to The Open to perform their swing routines.

The 2025 event will be The Open World Swing Dance Championships’ 41st year, which makes it one of the longest running swing competitions in the world. From novice to champion, The Open is a magical event for everyone passionate about swing and dancing. Competitors, social dancers and spectators alike will be awed and entertained at this world class event like no other!

First place winners of the Opus Divisions will take home the prestigious title of Open Champion — and the coveted Opus trophy. And spectators will witness the most amazing dance performances that will be seen in one place at one time.

The Open is also home to the “Walk of Legends,” an award given to those who have been legendary in their influence on swing,  and contributions toward making The Open World Swing Dance Championships what is today.
