Mission

DanceSport is one of the most graceful sports, where men and women compete on equal terms - a 100% gender parity. It is a team sport danced in partnership between man and woman using required technique together with floorcraft and artistic interpretation to produce highly disciplined dance performance. DanceSport developed out of the narrow confines of Ballroom dancing but today includes any dance style which has achieved internationally recognized competition structure and has adopted a sport based culture.
DanceSport has grown tremendously in the past few years, particularly in townships and rural areas. This is attributed to the fact that the sport was foreign to these communities for a long time.

Following IOC recognition, the International DanceSport Federation (IDSF) continues to work for the inclusion of DanceSport as a medal sport in the Olympic Games. There is a clear correlation between DanceSport and the existing Olympic Winter sport of Ice Dancing, and there is no doubt that DanceSport will become one of the popular tele-sports.

The FEDANSA Western Province Regional Administration Board (WP RAB), one of four RAB's within the Western Cape Provincial Administration Board (PAB) continuously strive to develop dancesport within the Cape Town Metropole.
