Hi i am from uk and danced for idta! I have won several times nationwide in ballroom latin and modern sequence. I have now started to take exams as a professional through the idta to gain my teaching qualification. I do miss competing as i can no longer dance for the idta if teach but i am wondering if anyone could give me any tips and continuing to compete with another dance council? Also any tips on fimding a partner etc? I have never been given much insight into anything outside of idta. I would really appriciate any advice.
Thank you xx

First.To compete as a Professional you do not need to pass any examinations.
Why dont you enter for the British at Blackpool which is held in May every year.
Google World Dance Council. and get familiar with the bigger picture. Warning. There are two main Societies . And they are at war with each other which is a bit ridicules but there it is.Why I used the word warning is because one of the Societies if you entered the others competition. They would ban you forever to enter anything they run. Where I live that rule will not apply. It got tossed out. To be on the safe side check the situation.

Thank u for response. Could i have any more information on these two societies please? Anymore tips on best way to find a partner? X

Once as a Professional Competitor you would join the W.D.C. As an Amateur you would join the W.D.S.F.. Then the W.D.S.F. decided to start a Professional branch of the Society.So in response the W.D.C. started a Amateur branch of its Society. I wont name which one but one of those Societies then said if you take part in any event run by the other even if you were only a program seller you would be banned from dancing in anything they run. That is why at Blackpool many would be competitors do not enter. There is a lot more to this story. I will leave it at that.
