Switching between lead and follow: choreographic possibilities to challenge the heteronormative gender binary in DanceSport
We critique the cisheteronormative structures embedded in DanceSport dictating that men lead and women follow, which reinforce sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. By advocating for role-switching and decoupling dance roles from gender, we highlight how such changes can enhance creativity, inclusivity, and freedom of expression in competitive Latin dance.

Desexualising Latin DanceSport:
Addressing the rampant sexualisation of female dancers
Latin DanceSport is hypersexualised due to competitive pressure and the expectation of performing a cisheteronormative romantic / sexual relationship. We advocate for shifting the focus from sexuality to intimacy to initiate a cultural change in DanceSport.
