The current Board of Directors comprises the visionary founders of the WDO. Members serve a strictly limited term of three years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms.
Our specialized committees empower dedicated members of the WDO, contributing their extensive experience, deep knowledge and shared enthusiasm for dance.
We are profoundly honoured to receive invaluable guidance from our esteemed Advisers, representing the highest tier of global dance professionals from the past fifty years.
The WDO is exceptionally proud to collaborate with affiliate members who share our core values, working together to secure a positive future for dancers.
Music is such a massive part of our wonderful Dance World and is there to inspire, stimulate and motivate us. Every month we normally post some favourite music links, chosen for your enjoyment, by a WDO Director, Adviser or Member. But this Month we decided to bring something different! The choices for this month are from the WDO World Champions. Please Enjoy!
