Announcements
November 2023
EADA wishes to make it clear that EADA does not support or have any connection with the newly formed entity BDSA. They claim they are the Governing body for amateur dancers. Whilst anyone can call themselves what they like, it doesn't mean they are. It is not possible to have two National governing Bodies covering the same sport. You can only have ONE recognised NGB and it already exists as EADA for England alongside corresponding recognised NGBs for Scotland and Wales. Recognition means that EADA dancers are represented at Regulatory body level and at Government level.

JANUARY 2020
The issue of Amateur dancers teaching is contentious, but EADA supports the ability of Amateurs to teach under the rules of the BDC. This ability in this modern world is of benefit to both the Amateur dancer and to those they teach. However such an ability is open to abuse by both Professional and Amateur.
We believe the EADA Coaching Scheme would be invaluable in regulating this issue.
