Press release
London, 2007-06-22
IDSF changes her position concerning Open Competitions, not her intentions.
On the IDSF website it read until yesterday, the 21st of June 2007:“IDSF Couples are not allowed to participate in the above mentioned competitions! “
As of today, 22nd of June, it reads:
“IDSF Couples are strongly advised that if they compete at any of these competitions, they may loose their athlete's licence in their own IDSF Member Federation, and thus may be stopped from competing in any country in the IDSF World Sporting System! “
Since the foundation of the WDC Amateur League a lot has happened. From day 1 organisations have entered the WDC AL.At this moment we have already over 30 different organisations and thousands of individual registrants.And every day more are joining in! By the hundreds………One of the major reasons to join our WDC AL is the defense of the right of freedom to dance.
Lots of declarations of support were and are streaming in, very often from IDSF-members or “IDSF-competitors”. more...

Open Letter To The World

The development from the GOC 2006 to a pitiful pseudo–World Championship for Professionals in Madrid January 2007 cannot and should not remain without comment any longer. Being almost 60 years, in my beloved Dance Sport, I request the right to write this letter as an Amateur Dancer, Amateur World Champion, the first dancer to be presented with the Silver Laurel given by the President of The Federal Republic of Germany, worked as a Professional Dancer, Trainer and then served as President of the World Dance Council for many years. more...
