Dear Friends,

I am thrilled to host the 2026 Maryland Dancesport! My goal is to provide all competitors with a highly organized, fun and competitive competition experience that will be memorable and unique!

The competition will be held at fabulous Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor Baltimore . The hotel has undergone a complete renovation and is absolutely beautiful! This venue offers easy access to all of the shops and restaurants that the Inner Harbor has to offer!

I have an exciting schedule of Professional, Pro-Am and Amateur events planned and a team of world-class adjudicators! I’ve have added Gentleman only Championship events in all levels and age divisions and the pro-am Open Scholarship events are a “Best of the Best” qualifier for the Ohio Star Ball Championships! Maryland Dancesport is honored to be part of the Global Dancesport Series, Dance Vision Circuit, World Pro-Am Dancesport Series, Best of the Best and the Fordney Foundation.

Additionally, my team and I bringing for your learning and watching pleasure US and World Professional American Smooth Champions Roman Malkhasyan and Galina Detkina for workshops on Friday and a show on Saturday night!

We do have a surprise for Saturday night as one of the professional couples will be retiring at Maryland Dancesport.

I hope to offer all competitors a highly organized and amazing competition experience. So mark your calendars, put on your dance shoes and join me February 6-7 | 2026 for the  Maryland Dancesport 2026!

With much love,

Your host, Garry Gekhman
