About Us

We are a governing body for dance in Australia.

Established in 1932, the Australian Dancing Board is the national administrative and regulatory body for the Ballroom Dancing profession in Australia. For both social and competitive dancers, our goal is to promote the health benefits, lifestyle benefits, fun and enjoyment that ballroom dancing offers, and to ensure that everyone in Australia has an inclusive pathway into the world of dance.

In 2018 we introduced the ADB new vision for the dance profession, which includes direct membership and board representation for member dance studios and clubs. Each state now appoints one director and one alternate director to represent studio and club members on the national board.
