EADA was formed in 1985 when the
British Amateur Dancesport Association,
which
formed in the 1960s,
split into
its constituent countries
for representation on the International
Dancesport Federation (IDSF). The
IDSF is the International
governing body
for dance and runs most of the
Amateur competitions overseas,
and is
recognised by the International
Olympic Committee. EADA became
a company
limited by guarantee in May 2008.
As well as being a member of the
IDSF, EADA is the only UK Dancesport
Association
(Professional
or Amateur),
which is
recognised by
Sport England, UK Sport, National
Olympic Committee and
WADA (the World Anti Doping Association).
EADA is also proud to
have a child protection policy
approved by the NSPCC and an equity
policy approved by Sport England.
