UCWDC - United Country Western Dance Council
Brief History
The UCWDC® was created in 1989, by a group of Country Western dance
competition directors, who came together in
Grantville,
Pennsylvania, to form the UCWDC®.
These directors wanted to “Unite” all their events across the country
under one set of rules, and establish national standards for Country
Western dance events throughout the country. They adopted a uniform set
of rules that had been written in 1988, and granted sanctioning to the
23 events that had used these rules in their entirety throughout 1989.
This was the birth of the UCWDC®.
In 1990, the UCWDC®
was incorporated as a non-profit organization, whose mission is to
“Promote and enhance Country Western dancing as an art form and a
competitive sport.” The UCWDC® is governed by a set of bylaws, and its
members elect a president, vice presidents, secretary and treasurer.
Today the UCWDC® has over 50 sanctioned events in 15 countries, and
hosts the annual World Championships of Country Western Dance®. For more
