AGM 2020 in Belgrade adjourned 18/03/2020

In light of global precautions for COVID-19, which the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared a pandemic on 11 March, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) decided today to adjourn its 2020 Annual General Meeting, which had been scheduled for 13-14 June in Belgrade, Serbia.

The decision was based on a number of important factors, including but not limited to:

  • the health and welfare of all WDSF members and the DanceSport community in general;
  • the declaration of a state of emergency in Serbia; and
  • current global travel restrictions.

Due to the ongoing uncertainty over the coronavirus outbreak and its universal reach, the WDSF concluded that it was too early to select another date and/or location for the rescheduling of the 2020 Annual General Meeting.

We will continue to closely monitor recommendations from the WHO and local authorities and will provide further updates as circumstances warrant.

The WDSF remains optimistic that the measures being taken around the world by governments and health experts will lead us on a road to recovery soon. In the meantime, we will continue to engage with the DanceSport community through our website and social media platforms (using the hashtags #DontStopDancing and #WeAreDanceSport).

WDSF President Shawn Tay said:

Our number one priority during this unprecedented time is to join the world community in doing what we can to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and of course to ensure the safety and well-being of our entire DanceSport community. Our thoughts are with all those affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
