Having successfully conducted regional awareness workshops in the areas of Kawempe, Entebbe, Masaka, Soroti, Jinja and Mbale, the Uganda DanceSport Federation has now embarked on Institutional awareness.
The Federation will officially launch DanceSport awareness workshops for institutions on Friday at the Swimming Pool terrace in Makerere University with an aim of attracting students who could be talented and interested in the sport.
This follows a successful meeting between the Federation General Secretary Barnabas Ssebuyungo and Peninah Kabenge, the president of Association of Uganda University Sports (also the vice president of Federal International Sports in Universities).
“We had a successful meeting with Mrs Peninah Kabenge the one in charge of Sports at Makerere University and President of the Association of Uganda University Sports (AUUS) and the General secretary Africa University Sports. She has given DanceSport a warm welcome to Makerere university and invited us to have Awareness this Friday to 1st year students/ fresher’s,” Ssebuyungo noted.
He added, “we are launching the sport in universities and trying to develop a strategy in Africa since we are soon joining Federation of African University Sports (FASU) and Federation of International University Sports (FISU) and sourcing resourceful administrators for the sport. We are going to establish university DanceSport societies which will emerge with different societies to form university association.”
After the official launch of the new sport in Makerere, the Federation will take the sport to Uganda Christian University (UCU), Ndejje University, Makerere University Business School (MUBS), Busitema and Bugema, Kampala University (KU).
Uganda is in thorough preparations for World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) Breaking For Gold 2021 championships slated for 29th June in China. The competitions will act as qualifiers for World Urban Games scheduled for September in Budapest, Hungary.
The team will also participate in the 2021 World Hip Hop Dance championships that will be hosted in Arizona – United States of America in August.
