Genoa, Italy is set to host the 2020 European Para Dance Championships from 17-21 December. 

The announcement was made on Wednesday (5 August) by World Para Dance Sport and the Genova Wheelchair Dance Sport 2020 – the Local Organising Committee (LOC).

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the two organisations have agreed to monitor the situation about the coronavirus outbreak in Italy and in Europe, and to set up a deadline to cancel the competition if necessary.

A letter of intent will be sent out to the teams and must be submitted by those who intend to compete no later than 15 September. 

Entries by name and accommodation deadlines are set to 30 October, the same date World Para Dance Sport and the LOC will confirm if the event is going ahead.

In case the European Championships is cancelled, all costs paid by the teams to the LOC until 30 October will be reimbursed.
