Ballarat Dancesport Festival organisers say they had "no option" but to postpone the event, scheduled for March 21.

The event, which attracts more than 100 competitors covering styles from quickstep and jive to samba and waltz, was scheduled to take place at the Mars Minerdome.

"All indications have shown that we would have exceeded a mass gathering of more than 500 (people) with the current entries and ticket sales," organisers said in a statement.

"There is no timeline on these restrictions, however of course we hope that the sooner Australia can contain and slow the transmission of COVID-19 the sooner our dance community can return to 'business as usual'."

While the festival is still seven weeks away, organisers have communicated with all vendors and suppliers to advise they are monitoring the situation and will make a decision closer to the date, due to the rapidly evolving scenario.

While festival organisers have stressed the festival will not go ahead if there is a risk to the community, a decision will be made in four weeks time with the most up-to-date information.

"If we can go ahead, we will."

I'm also waiting on a response from Words in Winter so will send that through when I get it.
