Ballroom Dancers' Federation

The Ballroom Dancers' Federation was founded in 1958 to give a voice to competitive ballroom dancers. A previous organisation, called the Competitors' Federation had been disbanded soon after its formation in 1946.[1] The purpose of the BDF is:

1. To promote the spirit of good fellowship and sportsmanship and to protect and advance the interests of professional competitors and professionals in general.
2. To further the goodwill and co-operation between those who utilise the services of its members and the governing Dance Sport bodies.

These general aims are interpreted mainly from the point of view of professional competitors,[2] though many of its activities do also benefit amateur competitors.

The Federation has been responsible for starting many events:

Delegates from the Executive Committee of the Federation sit on the board of directors for the British Dance Council; the Federation sees a major part of its role as bringing about changes in the BDC.
