Every person 16 years and over who registers with DanceSport Australia is a DSA Member, with the right to vote to elect the DSA Governing Bodies.
The Division you register in – Recreational, Amateur or Professional – sets which events you compete in. It does not change the fact that you are a Member of DanceSport Australia.
You do not have to compete to be a Member. If you teach, train towards an Accreditation, hold an official role, or simply want a say in how the sport is run, Ordinary Membership is the registration for you.
Competitors under 16 years of age register in the Under 16 Division.
A further class of competitor (Athlete Licence) is available for those who intend to compete in Para Dance, Special Olympics (including Olympic selection events for Breaking), and other genres of competitive dance.
DanceSport Australia has a special category of registration for volunteers. This registration allows for the recording of a person’s ‘Working with Children’ or ‘Working with Vulnerable People’ check. Go to the Volunteer Registration.
