WDSF DanceSport Academy

The mission of the WDSF DanceSport Academy is to provide trainers, coaches, adjudicators and the athletes with comprehensive and up-to-date information on all aspects of DanceSport. Through its Academy, IDSF fosters the sport’s development on a global scale, by establishing and maintaining defined standards in the education of coaches and officials, and by making know-how available to the athletes.

Going beyond the traditional transfer of knowledge through congresses - and taking a more holistic and, at times, a scientific approach - the WDSF DanceSport Academy provides its services through state-of-the-art technology and through workshops.
