The Council of English Amateur Dancesport Association Ltd wish to clarify that EADA Ltd is no longer affiliated with any international dancing organisation, and is not a member of the WDSF (formerly IDSF).  Dancesport England is the member organisation of WDSF in this country.  We hope that this removes any doubt as to EADA's position and that our main concern is for unity within the dance world, and to further the good of dancing in England.
