The road to Geneva

29 qualifiers, 26 countries, one weekend

From 2 May 2025 to 9 Oct 2026, dancers competed in 26 host countries for the 180 places on the floor of the World Cup Finals.

One stop per qualifier, in date order. Each shows the dancers confirmed on the platform and the Finals spots it offered. Places given back by qualified dancers who cannot come go to the Geneva prequalifier. 4 qualifiers took registrations outside the platform, so their dancers are not counted.

Pulse of the season

When dancers signed up

Registrations received each month across all counted qualifiers. A gold dot marks a month that held at least one qualifier.

What the numbers cover

  • 29 qualifiers that send dancers directly to the World Cup Finals, from 2 May 2025 to 9 Oct 2026.
  • 25 of them took registrations on the platform, so their dancers are counted in every figure about who competed.
  • 24 of them recorded judge scores on the platform, so only they feed the figures about scoring and judging.
  • 0 qualifiers are still to come, and their numbers will grow until they are held.

Numbers as of 18 Oct 2026.

Nations

102 countries on the floor

Dancers from 102 countries competed on the road to Geneva, and 47 nations have a confirmed finalist. Participation and finalists tell two different stories: the nations that send the most dancers are not always the ones that fill the Finals.

Ranking

Who sends dancers, who goes to Geneva

Distinct dancers who represented each nation in at least one qualifier. A dancer who entered three qualifiers counts once.

Country of residence differs from the flag

A nation hosts a qualifier when the event takes place on its soil. Travellers are nations whose dancers competed abroad without a qualifier at home. The most travelled nation is the one whose dancers showed up at the most different qualifiers.

For every round scored out of 10 that was followed by another round, we take each judge's highest-scored dancers, as many as actually advanced among the dancers that judge scored, and check how many of them did go through. Ties at the cut all count as picks, and only judges with at least 40 picks appear. It is not a grade: a panel decides together, so this simply shows how often a judge's favourites were the room's favourites.

How these numbers are counted

  • Only the 29 qualifiers that qualify directly for the World Cup Finals 2026 count.
  • Registrations are confirmed entries only. 25 of the qualifiers took registrations on the platform and 24 recorded their judges' scores here; the others show their official qualified list and nothing else.
  • Who qualified comes from each event's official qualified list. Advancement between rounds comes from who was placed in the next round. Scores are only ever compared within the same panel.
  • Dancers are named only when their profile is public. Judges appear only in positive rankings.

Data
