If you love Dancing with the Stars, you will love a night out the Tasmanian Open!
Experience the highest standard of DanceSport in Australia as competitors from across the country bring their very best performances dancing for cash and glory beneath the roar of a live audience.
With internationally renowned adjudicators, stunning production, a world-class dance floor, and our signature Tasmanian hospitality, this is more than a competition. No wonder Dance Review magazine crowned the TasOpen as the “Australia’s Dance Competition of the Year.”
In 2026, we proudly welcome 9-time World Latin Champion Bryan Watson, and an electrifying evening event opener from 2025 Dancing with the Stars Champion Kyle Shilling and Lily Cornish.
From the sultry heat of Latin to the grace of Ballroom, this is where champions rise and the crowd comes alive.
