Dear friends of Artistic Dance! It gives us great satisfaction to be able to present to you a new World Dance Federation and we are in many way different. The WADF accepts that the Art of Dance is much more then competitions. There are two parts to be considered. One Technical part and one Artistic. The former methods of presenting competition dancing with couples, where one must have a partner to be an active competitor are out of date. The demands of the 21 st century are being realised in the WADF. We look beyond the old fashion way of thinking that you must have a partner to be able to compete in Dance. We are changing the way of thinking in the regards to dance tuition. We are ready to take you on a World tour to explore the beauty of Artistic Dance and the enormous possibilities for development the Art of Dance gives to so many people in the World. We have learned from the past but we do not look back any longer. Our focus is set for the future. The WADF support and develop the Artistic Dancing in the World!
