The World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) is delighted to announce that its partnership with longstanding Associate Member the World Rock’n’Roll Confederation (WRRC) has been extended for another four years.
The renewal agreement, effective 1 January 2021, was signed today by WDSF President Shawn Tay and WRRC President Miriam Kerpan Izak.

WRRC President Kerpan Izak said: “We are thrilled with the renewal agreement, which means our organisations will continue to work closely together in a variety of areas for the benefit of Rock’n’Roll and all DanceSport disciplines. Rock’n’Roll has been gaining in popularity among young people in recent years and it has always excelled when featured at multidiscipline events. We remain as ambitious as ever as we look ahead to the next four years of collaboration with the WDSF.”
