The World Dance Council (WDC) is made up of 59 Member Countries (Ed note: the National Dance Council of America NDCA represents the USA on this Council) and is recognized throughout the world as the leading international organization representing Dance Schools, Dance Clubs, Medallist Dancers, Amateur Competition Couples, Pro-Am Competitors and Professional Dancers.

The WDC Professional Top Couples are undoubtedly the best dancers in the world.
