BWDA²⁰⁰⁰ - A SHORT HISTORY

The British Western Dance Association was formed in 1989 as an organisation dedicated to providing information to the growing numbers of dancers who wanted to leam "American Line-Dancing".The emphasis gradually changed from being dancer orientated to become Britain's leading Instructor Training organisation. Many of to-days best known instructors and choreographers did their initial training with the BWDA, as it quickly became known.

In January 2000 the control of the organisation was handed over to a management committee who eventually assumed responsibility for all BWDA activities . This committee decided that to mark this "new beginning" and to recognise the new millennium, the BWDA would now be known as BWDA²⁰⁰⁰.

The following months were to be the most turbulent in the organisations history and the result was split with a group from the new management committee forming a new organisation with a different name but with similar initials.

BWDA²⁰⁰⁰ is now run by Ron & Sheila Penn, with invaluable support from many experienced and knowledgeable instructors who collectively wish to maintain the links with and traditions of the British Western Dance Association.
