The WDSF Professional Division (PD) administers and governs the professional side of DanceSport autonomously with regards to the competitions, the competition rules as well as the licensing of professional athletes and officials.

The PD is, however, subject to the laws and policies of WDSF. It respects the latter's administrative jurisdiction and exclusive rights to internal and external representation. It adheres to the same democratic, sporting and management principles. It upholds the same standards and codes for ethics and anti-doping, and it recognises the competence of the WDSF jurisdictional organs.
