The World Country Dance Federation has been formed in Europe with the mission to “further the art form and sport of country dance at all levels (social, competitive, and professional) through a variety of styles and music. The WCDF sanctions and establishes the rules and guidelines for the events listed below and offering other like minded individuals or organizations to partner with the WCDF through event ownership.
The WCDF is full of many familiar names from the world of country dance including Event Directors, trainers, instructors and top dancers and professionals. The aim of the WCDF is that the dancer always comes first, an organisation created for the good of dancers and for the good of country dance worldwide.
We are having a circuit of High Level competition events, with already established events in countries such as Germany (2) , UK (3), The Netherlands (3), Norway (2), Switzerland (1), Belgium (1), Spain (2), Denmark (1), Scotland (1), France (1), Sweden (1), Austria (1) and The Baltic Countries (1) there will be ample opportunities to compete at wonderful, innovative, and exciting events. Also in 2007 there will be WCDF one day events called Regional/National events. We have a Ranking system for each country and a European Ranking which allows each country to develop a circuit with its own competitions.
Social Contests will also take place that will use the dances that are popular in each country, although there will be some recommended dances for you to choose. The WCDF aims to give the social dancers the respect they deserve.
Between them the founders have many years of dance relevant experience, which includes dance instructors, dance studio ownerships, conducting dance events, judging dance events, competing at dance events, and simply enjoying the fun of social dancing. They each bring a varied mix of business skills experience from other industries to the WCDF.
Again you will have the opportunity to qualify for the WCDF Championship of the World to be held in January 2008. The WCDF has dancer friendly rules that will be available in your own language and kept simple, yet informative. We are still listening to you the dancer to find out what your needs and your likes and dislikes are. We promised not to change things for the sake of change, but for the good of the dance form. And so we did. You the dancer will have your say through the WCDF Representatives in each country and the Dancers Section Director within the WCDF Board of Directors will take care of all your suggestions. You the instructors will also be able to have your say through the WCDF Representatives in each country.
The WCDF will respond to emails and letters about, rules or music, in fact any issues you may have, in a timely manner.
PROFESSIONALS SECTION: There is set in place an extensive Judges Training Programme and you can be assured that whenever you compete at a WCDF event you will be judged fairly and honestly by professional judges. The Social Instructors Accreditation Programme will benefit all the Pro´s in their work.
So once again welcome to the wonderful world of the World Country Dance Federation |
