The WFADS Statutes establish the legal and organizational framework of the Association. They define its purpose, set out categories of membership, establish governance bodies, regulate elections, and provide for disciplinary and ethics procedures. In addition, they govern competition regulation and the process for amendments, ensuring transparency, accountability, and consistent standards across all levels of activity.

Serving as the cornerstone of WFADS governance, the Statutes provide stability while enabling growth and innovation. They ensure that every decision—from competition rules to leadership structures—is guided by fairness, integrity, and respect for cultural diversity. By uniting members and stakeholders under a single framework, the Statutes safeguard the Federation’s credibility and reinforce its role in the global dance sport community.
