The World Irish Dance Association (W.I.D.A.) is a young organisation set up to promote and develop Irish Dancing for today's business arena.

Based in mainland Europe, W.I.D.A. organises workshops, competitions and examinations to aid in the promotion of an interest and the development of a standard in Irish Dancing.

A prior knowledge or experience of Irish Dance is not necessary to become a certified W.I.D.A. dance teacher or adjudicator as few people on the European mainland grew up having the opportunity to know about Irelands national dance style.

AAIDT seeks to establish a cooperative community of Irish dance teachers and dancers, and provide valuable resources for those involved.

AAIDT believes that competition is important – in moderation – to challenge students and measure progress, but should never be the primary focus of dancing.

We believe that dance should be a positive social activity. Therefore, we strive to foster a community of sharing and mutual support among dancers and teachers.

    Based in Ireland & the United Kingdom CRDM organises workshops, competitions and examinations to aid the promotion of an interest and the development of a standard in Irish Dancing.
