LINE DANCE TO BECOME OLYMPIC SPORT
The International DanceSport Federation (IDSF) is the sport’s world
governing body recognized by the International Olympic Committee. The mission of IDSF is to regulate, administer and develop
DanceSport.
IDSF recognizes the United Country Western Dance Council (UCWDC(R))as
the sole worldwide representative of the sports of Country Western Dance and Line Dance.
The IDSF will form the World DanceSport Federation, WDSF, in 2012, again with the
