History of The Eastern

The Eastern United States Dancesport Championships
at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel
February 15-17, 2013

The Eastern Dancesport Championships originated in New Jersey. Co-Organizers Mark Nocera, Dawna Nocera and Bill Morganti purchased the comp in 2008 with the dream of bringing a competition as prestigious as the Eastern US Dancesport Championships to Boston.

In 2010, The Eastern outgrew its location at the Park Plaza Hotel and moved to its current location at the luxurious Renaissance Waterfront. The competition continues to draw 3,000+ participants from around the world to enjoy 3 days of dance competition in the historic, fun, and romantic city of Boston.

In past years, the Eastern has partnered with Dance for the Cure, and Dancing With the Realtors to raise thousands of dollars for Habitat For Humanity.
