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.

Project Do Your Dance in Kaohsiung

19/06/2013

When more than 700 athletes gather in the Taiwanese port city between 16 and 20 September this year, DanceSport will be the order of the day at the K-Arena and elsewhere. Competitions and workshops in the different dance styles should induce the Kaohsiung residents to give DanceSport a try themselves. For this reason, WDSF challenged the German choreographer Dirk Heidemann to come up with a choreography that could easily be learned and performed by everybody - young and old - and that could make for the Games' very own dance. Here it is!
