20/02/2024 read more ...The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious health crisis that has caused a financial contagion for governments, businesses, sports and virtually all individuals worldwide. The World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) is no exception.
The WDSF Presidium has been working hard to ensure the survival and prosperity of the federation and DanceSport worldwide. Organisationally and financially the pathway we are currently on is very painful, but we believe we will come out the other side stronger and more resilient than ever.
We confirm that the WDSF’s mission to “develop DanceSport to its fullest potential” remains our primary goal and no pandemic will stop us from achieving our vision.
On 16 March, as part of our strategy to deal with the financial and organisational impacts of the virus, we immediately implemented a complete suspension of all spending aside from the salaries/fees of the WDSF staff, officers, IOC consultant, contractors (as far as possible), and the WDSF headquarters.
On 13 April the WDSF was able to secure modest Swiss government support for our professional staff at our Lausanne office during the partial shutdown. As part of the WDSF’s cost savings, our amazing staff also effectively accepted a 20 per cent pay cut during this period.
In the coming weeks and months, the WDSF will issue more detailed information to the DanceSport community so that you can better understand the actions that we have taken to ensure the prosperity of the sport we all love so much.
Things will get better. And we should all be ready to hit the ground running once our temporary “hibernation” comes to an end.
