Let’s bring longboard dancing to the 2028 LA Olympics
Longboard dancing has its roots in the vibrant skateboarding and surfing culture of Southern California, with a particularly strong connection to the legendary Dogtown scene of the 1970s. As such, longboard dancing represents an important part of LA's cultural history and identity.
But longboard dancing isn't just about preserving the past - it's also about celebrating the present and building for the future. At its core, longboard dancing is a community-centered sport that values creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity.
That's why we are pitching to the LA28 committee to include longboard dancing as a demonstration sport at the 2028 Olympics. By showcasing this dynamic and visually stunning sport on the world stage, we can inspire a new generation of athletes and fans while also celebrating the rich diversity of Los Angeles.
Longboard dancing isn't about competition - it's also about bringing people together. Whether it's at local meetups or fellowship sessions, the longboard dancing community is an inclusive and welcoming group that celebrates diversity and encourages participation from all. By making longboard dancing a part of the Olympics, we can further promote these values of inclusivity and community, bringing people from all over the world together in the spirit of sport and dance.
Join us in our mission to make longboard dancing a demonstration sport at the 2028 Olympics. Whether you're a longboard dancer, an Olympic enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and athleticism of dance, we invite you to support our cause and help us make history. Let's showcase the unique spirit of Los Angeles and celebrate the community-centered values that make longboard dancing such a special sport.
