It is with great disappointment that we advise that the World Dance council (“WDC”) has seen fit to take unprecedented and unannounced disciplinary action against DanceSport Australia (“DSA”). DSA categorically denies any transgression of its obligations as a member of WDC, and has requested that WDC explain its precipitous action. In the view of DSA, this action by WDC has been undertaken in contravention of WDC’s own Articles of Association and disciplinary procedures – without prior warning, communication or explanation to DSA.
WDC has made public on its web site the full text of the only advice and communication to DSA on this matter. Whilst DSA does not intend to prosecute this matter via press release, we believe DSA members are entitled to knowledge of DSA’s position. Accordingly, we are publishing both the WDC letter and DSA’s response thereto; these can be accessed via the links below.
