British Dance Council

The BDC is the recognised governing body for Ballroom, Latin American, Sequence & Freestyle Disco dance in the United Kingdom.

[1] The BDC was originally formed to establish uniformity in the teaching of Ballroom Dance nationwide, although its responsibilities are now extensive both in the UK and abroad.

The primary function of the BDC is to devise and oversee the rules for competitive dancing.

All dance competitions in the UK, both amateur and professional are governed by BDC rules.

The BDC works to ensure that, where possible, teachers from any organisation will be teaching dance the same way.
