Overview

The 2026 Italian Dance Sport Championships in Rimini continued to showcase a broad spectrum of talent. Salvatore Lanza and Michela Barone placed 17th at the World Latin American Dance Championships in Bremen after qualifying as vice‑champions at the Italian Nationals. At the same national event, Filippo Nellie and Varvara Makienkoche won the standard‑dance title and were runners‑up in the Latin‑American A1 19/34 class.

Thirteen‑year‑old Manuel Zilli earned four medals – silvers in bachata and salsa (12‑15 A) and bronzes in the show section – while Rebecca Grimi (13) and Chiara Sola (16) captured Under‑18 Intermedio titles in aerial hoop and fabrics at the CSEN Championships in Cervia.

Youth stand‑outs included Giada Tagliafierro (13) and Melissa Scalzone’s junior duo synchronized Latin gold, Gaia Zampilli’s three golds and a bronze in the 12‑13 B class, and the Super Cup Youth Latin American victory by Alessandro Falbo and Suamy Lourdes Violi. Christian Vassallo retained his Salsa Showcase crown and moved to elite Class A; Paralympic athlete Giada Canino added hip‑hop medals.

Gianmarco Mirabelli secured the Under‑21 Italian Latin title, earning promotion to Class A. Irodance Academy repeated its Class A hip‑hop win, and Impero Latino collected multiple medals across age groups.

Team Special Touch (Scicli) and Comunale Dance Academy (Piaggine) each amassed several podiums, with athletes promoted to Class A International.

The CMS Academy Teenager troupe won the national qualifier gold and will represent Italy at the Dance World Cup in Dublin, a trip funded via a GoFundMe campaign. The Rieti Dance Project earned a bronze in Junior Solo Street Dance 1 at the same World Cup.
