DESCRIPTION
Federation of DanceSport South Africa was formed in 1994 after integration of former Black and White structures in South Africa. This was in response of political changes that were taking place in South Africa towards democracy.
FEDANSA is an official controlling structure and sole custodian of DanceSport in South Africa. A member of South African Confederation of Sports and Olympic Committee (SASCOC), founding member of the South African DanceSport Federation (a Zone Six DanceSport Structure) and International DanceSport Federation - the only International DanceSport Organisation recognized by International Olympics Committee (IOC),General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF), International World Games Association (IWGA), Association of the IOC Recognized Sports Federations (ARISF)
FEDANSA's main members are provinces. Different Commissions take care of interests groups and experts and facilitate access and growth of DanceSport. These are DanceSport Technical Commission, Disabled DanceSport Commission, School Sport Commission and Athletes' Commission
We represent one of the most graceful sports, where men and women compete on equal terms, and 100% gender parity.
Following IOC recognition, IDSF continues to work for the inclusion of DanceSport as a medal sport in the Olympic Games. There is a clear correlation between DanceSport and the existing Olympic Winter sport of Ice Dancing, and there can be no doubt that DanceSport will become one of the popular tele-sports.
