60 Years (Plus)

Yes, WDSF is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its founding. The International Council of Amateur Dancers (ICAD) came into existence on 12 May 1957 at the Wiesbaden home of the German Champion Otto Teipel.

There was a predecessor organisation to ICAD, the Fédération Internationale de La Dannse Amateur, which, if it hadn't been for World War II, would have added another 22 years to the overall existence of this governing body known today as the World DanceSport Federation.

In any case, the Anniversay Dinner at the "Gardens by  the Bay" will be lavish enough to cover the range of celebrations: be it 60 years or more. A special logo was created and will be added to the website today.
