The World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) is delighted to announce that its partnership with longstanding Associate Member the World Rock’n’Roll Confederation (WRRC) has been extended for another four years.

The renewal agreement, effective 1 January 2021, was signed today by WDSF President Shawn Tay and WRRC President Miriam Kerpan Izak.

The WRRC has been an Associate Member of the WDSF since 1994 and is the global governing body for all aspects of the DanceSport disciplines Rock’n’Roll, Rock’n’Roll Acrobatic, Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Bugg and Doublebug, either directly or through its National Member Bodies.

“The WRRC has been a valued and trusted partner of the WDSF for over a quarter of a century and the renewal agreement is testament to the importance of this mutually beneficial relationship,” said President Tay. “The signing of this extension underscores the commitment of the WDSF to developing all DanceSport disciplines to their fullest potential around the world, and we look forward to our continued collaboration with the WRRC, in particular with regard to the restarting of competitions in the post-pandemic period.”

WRRC President Kerpan Izak said: “We are thrilled with the renewal agreement, which means our organisations will continue to work closely together in a variety of areas for the benefit of Rock’n’Roll and all DanceSport disciplines. Rock’n’Roll has been gaining in popularity among young people in recent years and it has always excelled when featured at multidiscipline events. We remain as ambitious as ever as we look ahead to the next four years of collaboration with the WDSF.”

The World Rock‘n’Roll Confederation was established in 1984. Each year it organizes around 50 international competitions, including World and European Championships, World Masters and World Cup tournaments. For more information, please visit the WRRC website.
