The Idea

Create a dance style that helps establish Ballroom and Latin dancing as Olympic sports. Blend International Standard, American Smooth, and Theatre Arts in back-to-back Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, and Quickstep dances to generate excitement in artistic athleticism. We hope adept dancers from all divisions put together some really fantastic combinations and fusion Pentathlon Ballroom and fusion Pentathlon Latin become regular new dance competitions.

International Rumba
 Iconic 20025 Slavik Kryklyvyy & Karina Smirnoff Rumba. A Latin Pentathlon rumba would be limited to two minutes.

 Argentine Tango
Not one of the pentathlon ballroom dances, but another example of mixing theater arts into an exhibition.

Theater Arts
 An example of outstanding lifts. Ballroom or Latin Pentathlon would require 50-70%  ballroom or latin dancing.

Caberet and Showdances
Shane and Shannon Jensen perform many theater arts intensive dances. This is a showdance, with more dancing, from the Ohio Star Ball 2016.

2011 Professional Ballroom Theater Arts and Exhibition
Multiple couples on the floor at the same time and one solo dance.
