NASSPDA Revises Competition Rules to Include Country-Western Dancing Title Awards
NASSPDA always recognized IAGLCWDC as the governing body for competitions and related rules in Country Western dancing and therefore hadn’t incorporated explicitly that style in its Competition Rules, next to International Style, American Style, Argentine Tango and the Showdance categories. When IFSSDA formalized its Competition Rules, after consulting IAGLCWDC, which is also a founding member of IFSSDA, Country Western dancing was naturally included, which for the first time defined the required dances for a graded/classified event. This year, IAGLCWDC agreed that NASSPDA should follow suit and the Board voted unanimously to revise its Competition Rules accordingly, including Country Western in the list of titles to be garnered at the North American Championships. You can find the revised NASSPDA’s Competition Rules here: NASSPDA Competition Rules.
