  • Purpose & Guidelines

    In 1992 several member organizations expressed an interest in forming dance competitions as an outlet for the more serious country/western dancers. A committee of six was originally formed to start the ball rolling. Over the course of 2 years, rules were put together and a basic format was created to enable anyone interested in competing a chance to show off their best stuff in a non-threatening environment with their peers in different categories and at different levels of competence. Finally in South Florida in 1998 the first competition was held with 8 couples, 5 line dancers, and 4 teams competing....a very sucessful start. The competitions have grown since. Today we are seeing new partnerships forming (same-sex couples as well as opposite-sex couples) and more involvement in gay/lesbian country/western competitions. (by Lee Fox, Director of Dance)
