Promotion of Small DanceSport Clubs
About the Project
The National Association of DanceSport (НАСТ) is launching a project focused on promoting, supporting, and developing small DanceSport clubs across Bulgaria.
Small clubs are often the first place where children encounter the world of dance, discipline, sport, and stage culture. However, many of them operate with limited resources, lower public visibility, and more restricted access to partnerships, sponsors, training opportunities, and new athletes.
Through this project, НАСТ aims to give these clubs greater public recognition, showcase their work, achievements, and contribution to the DanceSport community, and help create better opportunities for their future development.
Project Objectives
- Promote small DanceSport clubs across Bulgaria;
- Support clubs in attracting new children and beginner dancers;
- Increase the public visibility and recognition of local clubs;
- Encourage the development of DanceSport in smaller towns and communities;
- Assist clubs in organizing events, workshops, and community initiatives;
- Create opportunities for partnerships and sponsorships;
- Build a national network that fosters cooperation and knowledge sharing among DanceSport clubs.
How Will We Support the Clubs?
НАСТ will develop various forms of support, including:
- Presenting clubs on the official НАСТ website;
- Publishing club news and achievements;
- Promoting upcoming training sessions and open days;
- Presenting coaches and their professional experience;
- Promoting competition results and successes;
- Assisting with the organization of demonstrations and local events;
- Advertising through НАСТ social media and communication channels;
- Including clubs in national campaigns aimed at promoting DanceSport.
Club of the Month
As part of this project, НАСТ may introduce a "Club of the Month" feature, highlighting one DanceSport club from across the country each month.
Each feature may include:

This initiative will provide participating clubs with additional visibility while showcasing the outstanding work being carried out in dance studios and training halls throughout Bulgaria.
