About WFADS
Shaping the Future of Dance Sport
The World Federation of Acrobatic Dances and Dance Sports (WFADS) is the global governing body dedicated to the promotion, regulation, and development of acrobatic and dance sports at every level of participation. Founded in Lausanne, Switzerland, and operating as a non-profit association under Swiss law, WFADS embodies transparency, inclusivity, and excellence as its core values.
Our Federation serves as the guardian of disciplines that bridge artistry and athleticism — from Acrobatic Rock’n’Roll, Acro Swing, and Boogie Woogie to Breaking and the full spectrum of traditional ballroom dances. By uniting diverse styles under one international structure, WFADS provides a clear framework for governance, competition, and athlete development.

From Lausanne, the Olympic Capital, WFADS champions a future where acrobatic dances and dance sports shine on the world’s stage.
