The World Dance Council (WDC) is asserting its authority as the only World body with the right to administrate, grant and run all recognised World Ballroom Champion Titles.

The Council, made up of fifty nine (59) members representing virtually every dancing country in the world (one member per country) has decided to retain the event rights and appoint an organiser of their choosing to return the World Ballroom Champion Titles to a position of importance and meaning.
