1 Artistic Dance News Dear friends of Artistic Dance around the World! The Baby is born! We are ready to start. This is the first official Artistic Dance News and we wish you heartily welcome to join our family. Many people have been waiting for us to start and we apologize to all those who have been waiting. We are different to any other World Dance Organizations and hope that all those, involved in the Art of Dance are willing to find out if this is what you have been waiting for. If this is the case, please do not hesitate. Visit our website, and send us your membership application. There is no limit to the number of members in any one country, We have Individuals, Dance teams, Dance schools, Dance Clubs, Dance Companies, Dance Federations, Dance organizations and Dance Sport Federations as members. All are all welcome to join the family. Nils-Håkan Carlzon President WADF

2 It gives us great pleasure to announce that we are online! We have tried to keep the web site as clean and as easy to read as possible. It is intended to present weekly News Bulletins with the latest developments. As time progresses you will be able to download offical WADF documents such as WADF Discipline Competition Rules, which will explain, in detail, our Dance Divisions and the various disciplines included, plus how each discipline is presented. The WADF Competition Regulations govern the competitions. It is important to note that these two documents are available to anyone who visits our website. This means that competitors, and their parents, can read and learn the Rules and Regulations that control WADF activities. The WADF Guidelines are also available in the open area of the website. The Guidelines explain in detail how our members, teachers, coaches and trainers can use membership of the WADF to their best advantage. How to get started with WADF disciplines and how to handle the multi membership situation in each country. There are Guidelines that provide teachers and coaches with teaching tips on how to get the best results from the WADF Disciplines. Other Guidelines cover the education of Adjudicators and how new Guidelines will be released as and when necessary. You can check out all our present documents here. The website also presents something of the history behind the WADF and the people who currently sit on the Presiding Committee (read about WADF here). There is also a FAQ (frequently asked questions) page where answers to questions frequently asked by our members will be published. Our Picture Gallery will be well worth a visit presenting pictures from our many competitions by our certified photographers. Under the headline Our Disciplines will be a photo and video gallery presenting all our disciplines showing how they are performed and presented in competitions. The most important feature will be our Competition Calendar where all our acivities will be announced. Details of all International and National. In the near future the members area will be available where members will have their own data base to register their competitors. From that database they will also be able to enrol their competitors directly to any other competition displayed in the Competition Calendar. Finally we are very proud of the fact that we can present a License Shop. Here members will be able to buy Competitor Licenses and pay their membership fees in two different ways. Credit Card or Invoice. We wish you all - HAPPY BROWSING!
