Patroness of the 19. Equality German Open Championships in Cologne

We would like to introduce you to the patroness of this year’s 19. German Open Championships for female and male couples in ballroom and latin dances

We are delighted that our Lord Mayor has accepted this honorary position for EQDM 2024. Mrs Reker has been Lord Mayor of the City of Cologne since 22 October 2015, and Henriette Reker is the first woman in the history of the City of Cologne to steer the fortunes of Germany’s fourth-largest city as Lord Mayor.

Henriette Reker is the first female mayor in Cologne’s 2000-year history. She is committed to integration, has internalised the values of her home city, such as tolerance and diversity, and resolutely opposes the opponents of a free and open society.

Looking for dance partner?

You would like to compete at the DM (or any other nice Equality tournament), but do not have a dance partner? We have to change that! Although we do not have a special DM dance partner exchange, we have these two tips for you:

Our friends of pinkballroom berlin have set up a dance partner exchange on their website, which of course not only works for Berlin and the surrounding area, but (as we have been assured) may also be used for inquiries worldwide:

Tänzer*innenbörse

Also, there is the Facebook group “Tanzpartner gesucht!” in which both mixed-gender and Equality dancers take one’s chance:

We keep our fingers crossed and look forward to seeing you and your dance partner on the dance floor!
